244 malicious domains were neutralized in January

Coordination Center and Company Group–IB continue to cooperate within the framework of the Agreement on counteracting unauthorized use of domains .RU and .РФ. In January 2013, 254 applications were received claiming to cancel the delegation of malicious domain names. As a result, 244 domain names were removed from delegation in the accounting period and 10 domain names are still the delegation process.

The biggest share of detected malicious domains (80%) is accounted for by phishing resources, 12% is accounted for by the resources that spread malicious software. The least share falls on the domains through which botnets are being controlled (the networks of infected computers): there were only 8% of such domain names.

Moreover, as result of interaction between CERT-GIB and foreign organizations working on neutralization of malicious domains - Internet Identity, Spamhaus, Shadow Server, Symantec, Abuse.ch, Anti-Phishing Working Group, key control nodes of major distributed networks were neutralized in January, including Zeus, Feodo, Cridex, Slenfbot and others.

The details of how to inform about cyber threats and other illegal activity in the Internet you may find at the Website of the Coordination Center.
