Lukadjo :neotriangle:.js should be a top level domain not only would the owner get rich off all the libraries clamoring to use it, but it would also create needless confusion and possibly cause some problems, who knows .zip was great, but I say we need more <a class="hashtag" href="https://evil.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/TLDs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TLDs</a>

Jake in the desertVia Porkbun's website, small price increases for certain (niche) TLDs coming April 1 (and no, it doesn't appear to be an April Fool's joke 😂) <a href="https://porkbun.com/blog/domain-name-prices-increase-april-2025" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://porkbun.com/blog/domain-name-prices-increase-april-2025</a><a href="https://c.im/tags/TLDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TLDs</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SmallWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmallWeb</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieWeb</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/PersonalWebsites" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PersonalWebsites</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Porkbun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Porkbun</a>

Jan SchaumannWhy, you ask?Is it because we've filled up all existing <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TLDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TLDs</a> and ran out of space?Or is it because consumers, widely recognized for understanding so well the intricacies of the internet, are clearly asking for more TLDs?Or could it be because ICANN will charge applicants $227,000, and if they get even half the number of applications they did in 2012 (1,930) that adds up to a cool $220M?

Erik van Straten<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@spamvictim" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@spamvictim</a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@briankrebs</a> : it's big tech that makes money out of this - by facilitating cybercrime.Last week <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fraud-network-uses-4-700-fake-shopping-sites-to-steal-credit-cards/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/fraud-network-uses-4-700-fake-shopping-sites-to-steal-credit-cards/</a> referred to <a href="https://blog.eclecticiq.com/inside-intelligence-center-financially-motivated-chinese-threat-actor-silkspecter-targeting-black-friday-shoppers" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.eclecticiq.com/inside-intelligence-center-financially-motivated-chinese-threat-actor-silkspecter-targeting-black-friday-shoppers</a>.After a bit of research I found that Cloudflare proxies more than 1,000 fake webshops at one IPv4 address alone, all created over the last few days (source: <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/104.18.73.116/relations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/104.18.73.116/relations</a> and <a href="https://crt.sh" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://crt.sh</a>). In this case it's Cloudflare and Shopify who make money to begin with.Just to name a few, abusing brands and logos:hxxps://playmobil-sale[.]shop hxxps://zarahome-eu[.]com hxxps://amazstore-us[.]online hxxps://www.asicsshoes-eu[.]top hxxps://shopping-matel[.]com hxxps://snowboots-ugg[.]com hxxps://ugg-usaoutlets[.]com hxxps://zalandostorevip[.]shop hxxps://www.oralb-eushop[.]top hxxps://gaborshoes-eu[.]shop hxxps://costairlines[.]com ($500 gift cards for $199) hxxps://wayfairblackfriday[.]com (EclecticIQ mentioned wayfareblackfriday[.]com in their list of IOC's) etc.Note that there were also approx. 6 fake Lego sites, apparently they *were* taken down by Cloudflare.The actual websites may be hosted at Google (e.g. <a href="https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/35.244.245.121/relations" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.virustotal.com/gui/ip-address/35.244.245.121/relations</a>, example: hxxps://wayshunz[.]shop - also a Waifair imitation) or Amazon. If the real sites are taken down, the crims just let Cloudflare point to another server.Adding more TLDs indeed means that it's harder for internet users to distinguish between fake and authentic websites.A domain name is hardly meaningful nowadays. Initially its purpose was to replace hard to remember IP-addresses, but by now many of them have become as hard to remember as strong passwords. Worse, phishing works because even if people look at domain names, more TLD's means that there are more ways to create lookalikes.This is exactly what leads big tech to make more money. I would be surprised if it's not THEM pushing ICANN to add more TLD's.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TLDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TLDs</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/BigTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BigTech</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CyberCrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CyberCrime</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InfoSec</a>

Stefan Bohacek"Once [the country code] IO is removed, the [Internet Assigned Numbers Authority] will refuse to allow any new registrations with a .io domain. It will also automatically begin the process of retiring existing ones.

Stefan BohacekI really like <a href="https://tech.intersects.art/@xor" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@xor</a>'s Python script for generating domain names from public domain books, so I turned it, with permission, into a website, to make it easier to use. <a href="https://literary.domains" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://literary.domains</a>Hope you'll enjoy! <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/DomainNames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DomainNames</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/tlds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tlds</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/internet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#internet</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieWeb</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/SideProject" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SideProject</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/python" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#python</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#opensource</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/gutenberg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gutenberg</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/PublicDomain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicDomain</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a> <a href="https://stefanbohacek.online/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a>

The Fediverse Mule :DAnyone else think the :Fediverse: <a href="https://mastodon.moule.world/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> taught you a lot of <a href="https://mastodon.moule.world/tags/TLDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TLDs</a> you didn't know existed? For instance (pardon the pun), I never knew .bbc, .sucks and .international were TLDs until I came across them in my timeline as Fediverse instances.I love how people are setting up sites and Fediverse instances with new and emerging TLDs to stand out from the usual .com, .org, .net and others.
