A Canadian Cat Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 We lost the domain and access to the provider. So, the web admin had to get things moved to a new provider and there are still some glitches to work out. Please note the address has changed the new address is https://www.theblitz.club The .org domain used to have a redirect on it but no longer does. I'm sorry I don't know the back story on what happened - nothing very dramatic though but I just don't know the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks ok, but it suspects me of being a spammer (VPN causing this?) and states that my accound is on hold. I get the welcome emails with links to ok the account but no luck. Have tried twice in the past week or so with the same result. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine how the entire TLD, which is simple a bunch names of websites located on different servers all around the world, could be infected with malware 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 LOL cool malware guard. I can see some uses for being careful with such things. For example I could create a top level domain of .con (great irony there) and then register microsoft.con and apple.con and use those link to scam people and it would be hard for them to notice the trickery.  However this is not a scam. As @Freyberg said this one is approved by ICAAN so you should be safe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.club  0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethaface Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I guess this malware is a littlebit outdated on the the developments in TLD business. I used to work in the sector about a decade ago, when there were only the .countryCode and .com/net/.org/.info/.biz/.gov/.mil etc. Since then the policy around TLDs has been relaxed and I think that for 100k you can create your own, although there are requirements with regards to business practices and processes as well iirc. The governance over TLDs is indeed regulated by ICANN (not ICAAN  ) in cooperation with IANA which manage the root DNS system among other things. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
