Another thing I see far too often is using decorated domain names for public hosts. This pattern weakens the public's ability to separate out real domains from fake ones.
It's one of those rules that everyone makes then immediately breaks, like don't combine your company logo with ad-hoc graphics.
- Aachen 4y agoWhat's a decorated domain name? (Given the season I'm imagining bells.lights.tree.yourcompany.example.com)
- tashian 4y agoIf I'm understanding correctly, I think they're referring to a case like this: https://www.experian.com/ https://www.experian.com/ is the primary domain of the company. https://www.experianidworks.com/ https://www.experianidworks.com/ is a "decorated" domain for a service offered by the same company. Anyone could register experian*.com. So, if I want to determine whether the decorated domain is actually part of Experian or not, I'd have to go to Experian's website and dig around for a link to it. What makes it even worse in this case is that Experian is an incredibly high value target.
