Chinese domain sales report.
Cyber-attacks are causing millions of dollars in loss every year, and some of them originate in China.
Corporate espionage or other activities often fund such unlawful activity.
In Hong Kong, a man was arrested after causing the loss of 42 million euro to Austrian aerospace parts maker FACC; the scam involved posing as a high ranking officer of the company and ordering the transfer of the funds.
According to Reuters, “business email compromise” attacks involve thieves gaining access to legitimate email accounts inside a company, often those of top executives.
Meanwhile, the Chinese domain market is not faring too well, after a few solid-performing months.
We keep track of domain sales of short domains, between 2 to 4 characters, in the .CN, .COM and .NET TLDs.
Today’s list consists of two days worth of data, as volume has dropped significantly, and prices for “Chips” – the most popular domain genre among the Chinese domain investors – has dropped as well.
Here is the list of domains:
5h.cn
le.cn
9i.com
fnj.cn
frz.cn
grk.cn
hqk.cn
lqb.cn
rxq.cn
wpx.cn

In the good old days, this amount of domain sales would occur daily, with prices almost twice as high.
Let’s hope that the Chinese domain market will eventually rebound.
