Hot on the heals of yesterday’s report about Atrivo by Jart Armin, there is a new report by security research group KnujOn investigating what appear to be some shady business practices by the Directi Group:
In our continuing effort to shed light on the dark corners of the Internet we have produced this report on the Directi Group, a fairly large player in the Registrar world. We have highlighted their use of the controversial service PrivacyProtect.org, their association with EstDomains, their continued sponsorship of fake pharmacy domains, and their apparent ability to get Registrar accreditations for 48 Phantom Companies.
[Update: Directi has since worked with KnujOn and Jart Armin to address these concerns.]
