DNW Podcast #179: Whois and GDPR with Tim Chen
What happens if Whois, which is often used to hunt down bad guys, goes dark?
Security firms and brands rely on Whois records in order to quickly identify and mitigate all sorts of bad behavior: phishing, counterfeiting, fraud, spam, DDoS and more. What happens when these experts can no longer get access to Whois? On today’s show we talk with Tim Chen, CEO of security firm DomainTools. Tim explains how firms use Whois to thwart the bad guys and what happens when Whois goes away. This is especially relevant given what registrars are planning to do since of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Also: UDRP conflict of interest, GoDaddy picks AWS, Google goes mobile first, Brexit for domain names, Scientology domains and more.
