DNW Podcast #383: Both sides of DNS abuse
A look at both side of the equation.
No one listening to this podcast wants people to use domain names and websites for scams, spam, and spreading malware. But who ought to be responsible for policing this? How much effort ought to domain registrars and registries have to expend to root it out? And what regarding the collateral damage to legitimate websites? Today, I chat regarding these topics with Jothan Frakes. Jothan has been in the DNS space for three decades and has seen this debate play out over time. He understands both sides of the equation and discusses why ICANN and its contracted parties are often the ones targeted to clean up the mess.
