In September of 2013 accredited registrars received 115 requests from the company Group-IB for removal of domain names-violators from delegation. As a result of activities undertaken 99 domain names were removed from delegation. Among 16 domain names that at the moment are in delegation, 15 from them were unblocked due to the elimination of the reasons for blocking by domain names owners. Unblocking was made on the request of CERT-GIB.
The largest proportion of detected domains-violators turned out to be phishing resources (52%), the smallest proportion – resources that were used to distribute malware (21%).
