M3AAWG actively seeks to provide the necessary technical and strategic guidance to protect end-users’ online experience as government, Internet and public policy agencies worldwide develop new Internet policies and legislation. Working to reduce the spread of spam, bots and malware, M3AAWG has submitted comments on these proposals:
It is in the public interest for anti-abuse actors to be able to contact, and obtain information about, the registrant of a public resource such as a domain name, in order to address cybercrime, hacking, botnets, phishing, and other abuse. For bona fide actors with a legitimate interest, access to WHOIS must be effective, functional, timely, and efficient to ensure appropriate cybercrime and abuse response. Thus, we would like to voice our agreement with the recommendations made in SAC118, as released by SSAC on July 15th 2021.
As a followup to the June 2021 survey report of cyber investigators and anti-abuse service providers on the ongoing impacts of ICANN’s implementation of the EU GDPR, the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (Temporary Specification, adopted in May 2018), M3AAWG and the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) has released their recommendations for ICANN'S consideration.
M3AAWG and the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) conducted a follow up survey to our 2018 survey of cyber investigators and anti-abuse service providers to determine the ongoing impacts of ICANN’s implementation of the EU GDPR, the Temporary Specification for gTLD Registration Data (Temporary Specification, adopted in May 2018). The report contains our findings and presents some recommendations for consideration.
The Messaging, Malware, and Mobile Anti Abuse Working Group (M3AAWG) welcomes the opportunity to review and submit comments on the final report from ICANN!s Second Securi-ty Stability and Resiliency Review Team (SSR2 RT) to the ICANN Board.
M3AAWG, the Messaging, Malware and Mobile Anti-Abuse Working group, appreciates this opportunity to comment on the Revised Directive on Security of Network and Information Systems (NIS) (https://ec.europa.eu/digital-single-market/en/news/revised-directive-security-network-and-information-systems-nis2). We make these comments in our capacities as cybersecurity professionals and researchers committed to ensuring the security and stability of the internet, including the domain name ecosystem.
