DigitalSENSE Business News:

The Antiphishing Working Group (APWG) has concluded plans to host its 10th anniversary meeting between September 16 and 19, this year, in San Francisco, United States, with focus on eCrime.


DigitalSENSE Business News gathers that this would involve discussions around Domain Name System (DNS) Security, stability and resiliency update.

Also, the working agenda for eCrime 2013 continues a trend of focusing greater attention on abuses or misuses of DNS and registration services.

During the two-day eCrime Congress, DigitalSENSE Business News learnt that participants will consider the evolution of crimeware, behavioral vulnerabilities and human factors that facilitate eCrime, the roles of Registrars, Registries and DNS in managing phishing attacks, public health approaches to managing eCrime and reports of current counter-eCrime efforts and successes.

On final day of the meeting, 19 September, ICANN's Security Team plans to host a DNS security, stability, and resiliency update on policies and discussion topics of particular interest to the APWG members.

These, DigitalSENSE Business News further gathered would include a review of the 2013 Registration Accreditation Agreement (RAA), a presentation on Abuse Recidivism in Domain Registrations, a report on the recommendations from the ICANN Expert Working Group on Whois, and a progress report on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) working group that is developing a successor Whois protocol (WEIRDS).
