paulears Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Anyone else noticed that the nominet system many used to check up on who a website actually is registered to has been silenced with the GDPR - everyone's data has been set to private - so the information returned from a search gives no information whatsoever. No name or address. .com addresses seem compromised too if registered in europe - my .co.uk and .com web addresses now return no identifiable data or even contact details for abuse apart from a third party forward in a few cases? This actually helps the scammers. Fake web sites now are so tricky to track down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonemorf Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thats a 6 of one half dozen of the other argument though. Spam levels are dropping pretty well as a knock on effect, and dont forget, you could always buy domain privacy, and also "secure" domains, that were truly anonymising.

Andrew Edwards Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 That is interesting. I was always annoyed that there was no facility (free or otherwise) to hide my info on ICANN. I ditched the .com in the end as the spam was too much. I wonder if all the folks who are paying to hide their contact details will get a refund now that it is occurring 'naturally'.
