RU-CENTER - spammer & cybercriminal support domain registrar

RU-CENTER claims that ICANN gTLD rules do not allow them to suspend spam, virus, malware, botnet C&C, DDoS-attack domains. This is an odd claim as Spamhaus knows this is untrue and we know that many dozens of the world's largest registrars in Europe, the USA, in China will quickly shut off abusive domains. Even other Russian registrars will do this.

All we can tell by their actions, or inaction, is that RU-CENTER is supporting spam & cybercrime.

__________________________________________________

From March 2009 to May 1st, 2009, over a dozen reports of botnet spammer, malware, cybercriminal domains were sent to "ANO Regional Network Information Center aka RU-Center", not one domain was suspended or put on "Registrar HOLD".

Sad to see an ICANN registar so closely tied to RIPN being used by cybercriminals to further abuse of the internet.
