Currently, high-profile domain registrars are being targeted for phishing attacks against domain owners.
Some of the attackers use Realtime Register branded emails to target our resellers and their end users.

Organizations who choose to apply to operate a top-level domain have merely begun a journey that will most likely carry them into 2013. If you’re curious about the next phases of ICANN’s New gTLD Program, here are …
