A US-based anti-spyware company has registered the ".com.au.com" domain name, which experts fear could be used by cybercriminals to create more convincing phishing attacks.
While Australia never suffered the extreme examples of Internet domain mania seen in the US, it seems many local registrars are still prepared to go to extreme lengths to secure desirable domains.
Australia's domain name regulator is considering opening up the nation's top level .au domain, in a dramatic proposal that could see second-level domains such as "example.au" made available.
The .au domain administration body (auDA) said last night it planned to sell off previously-prohibited geographically-based domain names in the .com.au and .net.au spaces in AU$500 bundles, as well as implementing a host of other significant changes.
An accredited domain name registrar accused of transferring domain names without the owners permission has angrily denied the charge, saying it had permission to transfer the names.
