    GTLDs are a fucking mess right now, honestly. ICANN should be ashamed of the state this is in.

    I legit thought this was a sarcastic post by a random: We have investigated ourselves quite thoroughly and have found our actions to be perfect. Also we meet the bare minimum to not be blacklisted...

    I legit thought this was a sarcastic post by a random:

    Namecheap responsibly and thoroughly investigates every allegation of reported abuse. We have never processed a single case where it was determined that we acted irresponsibly, and our record shows that. Last year we responded to over 92,000 third party reported abuse incidents, with more than 200,000 correspondences from investigating each report. Additionally, we self identified and investigated over 13,000 potential abuse cases that we identified based on our own security monitoring. While this may not satisfy everyone it satisfies our obligations according to ICANN.

    We have a large dedicated team, that works 24/7 investigating any complaints we receive, and wherever there is evidence of abuse, we take action. Registrar accreditation requires us to respond and investigate abuse cases in all forms. We have been accredited by ICANN for nearly 10 years with no issues or warnings regarding abuse inaction from our side. Our record speaks for itself.

    With 10M domains under management, we are now the second largest retail registrar in the world and this is reflected in the numbers you see here. You need to take that into consideration when viewing these numbers.

    We have investigated ourselves quite thoroughly and have found our actions to be perfect. Also we meet the bare minimum to not be blacklisted by an organisation who has incredibly lax policies, so wtf are you complaining about?

      Krebs on Security is a very basic looking website but has consistently high-quality internet security news and advice.

        What I quoted was a comment by the CEO on that same article, I wasn't taking a dig at the source.
