Indian registrar NetLynx received a warning about non-compliance of its actions to the ICANN requirements. The reason is that NetLynx «did not adequately respond to ICANN’s calls» in the time period from November 26 to January 5. There is no explanation what kind of irregularities these were in the official document, but apparently it is referred to the usage of domain registered by NetLynx that are utilized to illegally sell medicine.
This was reported LegitScript, that specializes in monitoring of the global network in order to find illegal drug trafficking. According to its data, up to 25% of all the domains registered through NetLynx (these are approximately 3 thousand domains out of 12 thousand) are either used to organize webpages that were selling drugs illegally before or do it now or are parked and associated with the servers and IP addresses that were involved in illicit drug trafficking. The names like canadian-drug-pharmacy.com, pills-delivery.net and pillsforlife.net are given as examples of domains registered by NetLynx. LegitScript president John Horton is willing to ask ICANN to terminate accreditation of NetLynx as a domain registrar.
