China Suspends 300 Fishing Website Domain Names

By October 30, 2008, the Anti Fishing Alliance of China had suspended the domain names of more than 300 Chinese fishing websites with the help of the anti fishing system based on the .CN domain names.

Fishing websites have been threatening the Internet’s security, particularly since the second half of September when the financial crisis was expanding around the world. The rise of a large number of fishing websites seriously blocked the development of e commerce and online financial businesses. With this in mind, APAC established an anti fishing coordination mechanism, which ensures the safety and healthy development of e commerce and online financial services, and also raises the security of .CN domain names.

The Chinese Domain Registry is committed to fighting fishing websites in e commerce and online financial services, which are the sectors mostly harmed by fishing websites. Since its founding in July 2008, APAC has played an important role in clearing the Chinese Internet of miscreants.

At present, 42 Chinese and foreign companies have joined the alliance, covering such sectors as the Internet finance, securities, e commerce and online games. To date, there are more than 12 million .CN registered domain names in the world.
