Re: [APAC-Discuss] APRALO planning for IGF
by Hong Xue June 6, 2008

June 6, 2008

Dear Mr. Peake, Thank you for very insightful suggestions. My colleagues at the APRALO would be grateful for your suggestions on the following issues: Could we apply for a session at the plenary, rather than a parallel workshop? This is a the first IGF in AP region that is most Internet populous. APRALO would like to do more contribution for the Internet users in this region.

Fast Flux Hosting 5 June 1300 UTC
by At-Large Staff May 30, 2008

May 30, 2008

Veuillez trouver la version française de ce message suivant plus bas Por favor véase el mensaje en español abajo Dear all, You are invited to join Dave Piscitello¹s Briefing Session on Fast Flux Hosting which will take place on 5 June at 1300 UTC. Please find the meeting page with participation instructions and documents below. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting French and Spanish interpretation is tentatively scheduled for this meeting. However, there is currently only one French and no Spanish speaking person who expressed interest in the Briefing session. As you can imagine, it takes a considerable amount of resources to organize a multilingual presentation and it is only worth doing if there is a real interest from the non-English speaking language communities for these events. If you would like to participate in the French or Spanish channel for this meeting, please write an email to staff(a)atlarge.icann.org. What is Fast Flux? "Fast flux" is an evasion technique that cyber-criminals and Internet miscreants use to evade identification and to frustrate law enforcement and anticrime efforts aimed at locating and shutting down web sites used for illegal purposes. Fast flux hosting supports a wide variety of cyber-crime activities (fraud, identity theft, online scams) and is considered one of the most serious threats to online activities today. One variant of fast flux hosting, "double flux", exploits the domain name registration and name resolution services. Cher(e)s membres, Vous êtes invité, par le biais d¹une téléconférence, à participer à une session d'information sur ³l'Accueil Rapide de Flux² (ou ³Fast Flux Hosting²) de Monsieur Dave Piscitello de la division Sécurité et Stabilité du Comité Consultatif (SSAC) d'ICANN, qui aura lieu le 5 juin à 13.00 UTC. Veuillez s¹il vous plait trouver ci-dessous la page de cette réunion avec les instructions de participation et les informations supplémentaires pour cette réunion. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting L'interprétation en français et en espagnole est programmée pour cette réunion. Cependant, il y a actuellement seulement une seule francophone et aucune personne hispanophones qui a montré un intérêt pour cette session d'information. Comme vous pouvez imaginer, il requiert une quantité considérable de ressources afin d¹organiser une présentation multilingues et il est seulement intéressant de le faire, si et seulement si, il y a un vrai intérêt des communautés non anglophones pour ces événements. Si vous voulez participer à cette conférence sur le canal français, envoyez s¹il vous plaît un email à staff(a)atlarge.icann.org Qu¹est-ce que l'Accueil Rapide de Flux? "L'Accueil Rapide de Flux" est une technique d'évasion que les cyber-criminels et les mécréants d'Internet emploient pour esquiver l'identification et pour frustrer le renforcement des lois et les efforts anticriminelles afin de non seulement localiser, mais aussi d¹arrêter les sites Internet utilisés à des buts illégaux. L'Accueil Rapide de Flux soutient une large variété d'activités cyber-criminelle (fraude, vol d'identité, escroqueries en ligne) et est considéré comme une des plus graves menaces des activités en ligne d¹aujourd'hui. Une variante de l'Accueil Rapide de Flux, les ³doubles flux" exploite l'enregistrement des Noms de Domaine et des Services de Résolution des Noms. Estimados miembros de At-Large, Les invitamos para la sesión de David Piscitello sobre el Fast Flux Hosting que será el 5 de Junio a las 1300 UTC. Véase la página web de este reunión telefónica para ver las instrucciones de participación. Cargaramos más documentos sobre la reunión en breve. https://st.icann.org/alac/index.cgi?fast_flux_hosting La interpretación en lengua española y francesa es planeada de manera provisoria. Sin embargo, por el momento solo hay una persona de lengua francesa y ningún hispanohablante que ha manifestado su interés por esta presentación. Como se lo puede imaginar, organizar una presentación en varias idiomas necesita muchas recursos y solo valga la pena si existe interés suficiente da la comunidad no anglófona. En caso de que quiere participar en este reunión en el canal español o francés, escriba un email a staff(a)atlarge.icann.org por favor. Que es el Fast Flux Hosting? El Fast Flux es un método de evasión usada por criminales de Internet para evadir su identificación y así frustrar la lucha anticriminal de los autoridades que intentan localizar y cerrar los sitios Webs usados para fines ilegales. El Fast Flux Hosting es usado en varias actividades del ciber-crimen organizado tales como el fraude, el robo o suplantación de identidad y el engaño on-line y representa hoy en día una de las más serias amenazas para la actividad on-line de hoy. Otra variante del Fast Flux Hosting es el Double Flux, un método que se aprovecha de los servicios de registro de dominios.
