Internet Surveillance.
A British boffin decided to demonstrate the side-effects of a new British law about Internet surveillance.
Protesting the Investigatory Powers Bill, which orders the data retention of all British Internet activity for a year, Brett Lempereur – a computer security and digital forensics researcher, maker, software engineer, and University lecturer – created ICRA.
His web site at ICReachAround.XYZ, streams live information about the web sites he visits on the Internet – in real time.
According to Lempereur, this real-time stream of his own visits, some of which might be unsafe for work, is a public ICREACH built on a “really cheap domain name.”
We aren’t sure just how cheap it was, but recent promotions by the XYZ Registry have driven the registration price of .XYZ domains as low as $1.99.
While this .XYZ domain isn’t going to give the XYZ Registry the positive publicity that Alphabet.XYZ did, it’s still a controversial piece of news related to online privacy.
For more information, and to watch a near-live stream of web sites being visited by its creator, go to icreacharound.xyz.
I fear that the .XYZ extension will be plagued by same diseases as the other cheap ones .info ,pw, biz. Its going to be filled with spammers and scammers.
