Site renewals stop hijackers
October 2004
Firms must set up processes to renew domain
names and guard against Web site hijackers, or
their businesses may suffer, say experts. More
than 1,500 domains owned by ordinary firms six
months ago are now registered by pornographers,
according to Internet management specialist
Websense.
Barbara Cookson, a partner at law firm Nabarro
Nathanson, said, "In most cases missing the
renewal is simply down to poor administration."
She warned that Internet scanning tools can
rapidly grab newly available names.
