Feds seize .XYZ domain

ICE : seized domain.

The .XYZ gTLD is getting hit by massive domain drops, to the tune of 2.5 million, and now Homeland Security Investigations has added one domain to its seized list.

Dubsrewatcher.xyz moved into ICE possession, and is currently displaying the standard message:

“Willful copyright infringement is a federal crime that carries penalties for first time offenders of up to five years in federal prison, a $250,000 fine, forfeiture and restitution […] Intentionally and knowingly trafficking in counterfeit goods is a federal crime that carries penalties for first time offenders of up to ten years in federal prison, a $2,000,000 fine, forfeiture and restitution.”

As far as we know, this is the first .XYZ domain to be seized by ICE.

Regardless of recent developments, the .XYZ Registry maintains an active and efficient control on any potential violators of its anti-spam and anti-malware policies.
