Attached is a paper that was created by the Domain Name System Policy Working Group of the Anti-Phishing Working Group. This compilation of this paper was initiated because of the formation of your group - the DNSPWG wanted to determine whether or not phishers use domain tasting. In general, the conclusions are that phishers do not use domain tasting but domain tasting does negatively impact the anti-phishing organizations due to increased infrastructure needs for monitoring domain registrations. If you have questions about this paper, don't hesitate to contact me. -
