The Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) cordially invites attendees of the Vancouver ICANN meeting to a panel discussion on the current headline issues of Phishing, Phraud and Botnets. The session will take place Thursday, December 1st at 5 PM at Stanley Park Ballroom 1 and 2. We will be presenting valuable information on the scale of these problems and their effects on the domain registration system and registrars. Additionally, we'll cover the latest techniques used by these criminals to defraud consumers and domain registrars, as well as best practices and new ideas for combatting them. The panel will include members of the APWG who are on the front-lines of the anti-phishing fight, along with peers from the registrar community who have successfully implemented programs to prevent and quickly eliminate fraudulent registrations abusing their services. We hope to use this opportunity to give you valuable tips that you can implement right away to be able to eliminate abuse on your services. We also wish to start discussions on procedures and policies that the entire registration community can work on to make it harder for criminals to so thoroughly abuse the Internet via the domain name system. This is designed to be an open discussion with plenty of input from the assembled audience to get good ideas on the table. The APWG wishes to include the domain registration community on the team dedicated to making the Internet a safer place for all to use, keeping the momentum moving forward for its continued health and growth. If anyone has any input or questions ahead of the session, I've included my contact information so they can reach me. I will be in Vancouver Tuesday evening (snow permitting).
