WhoisGuard is Namecheap's privacy protection service. There is nothing unusual or untoward about not wanting your contact information being used for spear phishing, spam, ... I'm not convinced contact information should be required when registering a domain. Why should it matter who owns the domain?
- yoo1I 11y agoTime for a quick rant: Because * when I ask CloudFlare to stop resolving phishing domains with their nameservers they don't care. * when I ask amazon to remove the content from their networks that's clearly against their TOS, they don't care. * when I try to get in touch with PrivacyGuard about this domain, they don't care either. * I ask aweber.com to cut off this customer who they are providing mailinglistservice for, they don't care. These are all at least semi-reputable companies, who through inaction continue to allow criminals to abuse their infrastructure, and do not allow me to directly contact this offending customer. So there is no way for me to find out which entity is responsible for actually creating this phishing operation. Granted, they'd probably fake whois data anyhow, but it's my last straw :-) Now, I'm actually all for anonymity, I'm just frustrated with trying to remove this phishing site that's been up for months now.
