[ietf-dkim] Possible extensions for SSP // domain tasting correction

2007-06-28 15:51:15

I have been informed the justifications for "domain tasting" in the tpa-ssp draft is wrong and will be corrected.

"While domain tasting allows registrars to avoid retracting a flood of fraudulent credit card transactions, ..." Instead, domain tasting is to uncover domains that might generate traffic. Credit card fraud was not the motivation. However, there are spikes of withdrawals at about 20 days (well beyond the 5 day period) that could be related to credit card fraud. As an organization attempting to offer domain related services, this type of behavior is very onerous as it obscures fraud. Jon Postal would not be proud.

Here is an article by Frank Schilling.
