XYZ Registry suspended serial spammer’s domain names

No more spam from iWeb's PrivateDNS.com - The spammer has been kicked out.

Spam sucks goat balls.

Our article yesterday about a serial spammer using dozens of XYZ domains, coincided with action by the XYZ Registry to shut them down.

Despite the considerable amount of spam dispatched by the spammer, the XYZ Registry maintains an abuse mitigation system for such cases.

Shayan Rostam, Global Director of Registry Operations for the XYZ Registry sent us this update:

“We are 100% on top of spam/abusive registrations in our zone.

We’ve gone above and beyond the calling of a registry operator by creating our own proprietary abuse mitigation system that proactively flags and suspends suspicious domains based on feeds we receive from the most respected sources online, such as Google, SURBL, and Spamhaus, among many others – adding 60+ more in the next couple weeks.”

Rostam mentioned that the domains in our coverage were already in a queue to be acted upon.

He also provided some statistical information about this serial spammer:

  • 152 total domains registered.
  • 50 had been suspended before yesterday, with the sponsoring registrar notified.
  • Of the 102 still active, 72 were automatically flagged in the XYZ abuse system earlier, pending suspension.
  • 30 remaining were yet to be discovered by the XYZ abuse system.

Due to the registration patterns of the abusive spammer, the remaining domains were suspended as well.

This is great news, however in the course of just two days, hundreds of emails were sent out, and the spammer continues to register fresh domains – here are a few registered today:

  • Tattin.xyz
  • Matternel.xyz
  • Lavilet.xyz

The serial spammer’s info, as displayed by the WHOIS of these names:

The domain name Maviler.work has been sending spam from dot .Work domains in recent weeks. Its administrative contact points to picksshutdown.com, a domain that has been blocked “for spam and abuse” by eNom.

We will continue to expose serial spammers and domain thieves; hopefully more domain registries will take a proactive approach to spam.
