.ORG Authority will implement a new Domain Anti Abuse Policy. The policy is effective from February 5, 2009 and will help .ch owners whose domain names have been compromised and used inappropriately. Includes, without limitation, the following:
- Illegal or fraudulent actions
- Spam: the use of electronic messaging systems to send unsolicited bulk messages.
- Phishing: the use of counterfeit Web pages designed to trick recipients into divulging sensitive data such as usernames, passwords, or financial data.
- Pharming: the redirecting of unknowing users to fraudulent sites or services, generally through DNS hijacking or poisoning.
- Willful distribution of malware: the dissemination of software designed to infiltrate or damage a computer system without the owner’s informed consent.
- Fast flux hosting: use of fast flux techniques to disguise the location of Web sites or other Internet services, or to avoid detection and mitigation efforts, or to host illegal activities.
- Botnet command and control: services run on a domain name that are used to control a collection of compromised computers or “zombies,” or to direct denial of service attacks (DDoS attacks).
- Distribution of child pornography
- Illegal Access to Other Computers or Networks: illegally accessing computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual’s system (often known as “hacking”).
The Authority reserves the right to deny, cancel or transfer any registration or transaction, or place any domain name(s) on registry lock, hold or similar status, that it deems necessary, in its discretion. The Authority also reserves the right to place upon registry lock, hold or similar status a domain name during resolution of a dispute.
