		<title> COVID Domain Registrations Surged in March (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20200520-covid-domain-registrations-surged-in-march</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20200520-covid-domain-registrations-surged-in-march</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The Internet and the domain name system (DNS) have become the mainstay of the new COVID sheltered world. Afilias looked at registrations in the unrestricted domain name space, with a special focus on the popular .INFO, .PRO, .MOBI and .IO domain name extensions. The data shows that the number of website and domain registrations related to COVID and Coronavirus in these extensions is flattening after a surge in March. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20200520-covid-domain-registrations-surged-in-march">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Remote Work Demands Encryption (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20200421-remote-work-demands-encryption</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20200421-remote-work-demands-encryption</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that we are all working from home (WFH), the need for encryption must also increase in priority and awareness. Zoom's popular video conferencing solution got in hot water because they promised "end-to-end" encryption but didn't deliver on it - prompting some organizations to ban it from use altogether. Encryption protects confidential information from being exposed in transmission, providing a secure way for the intended recipient to get the information without snooping by others. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20200421-remote-work-demands-encryption">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> New Cyberthreats: Have You Been Exposed at Home? (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20200409-new-cyberthreats-have-you-been-exposed-at-home</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20200409-new-cyberthreats-have-you-been-exposed-at-home</link>
		<description><![CDATA[There are new threats that you may have already been exposed to. Here are some of the new threats and advice on how to protect yourself. During this pandemic, Zoom has emerged as a very popular teleconferencing choice for companies and educational institutions, but a new weakness for Zoom was also discovered. Some online conferences and classes that had not password protected their sessions fell victim to eavesdroppers using the screen sharing feature to "Zoom Bomb" those sessions with graphic images. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20200409-new-cyberthreats-have-you-been-exposed-at-home">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Say YES to DNSSEC (Featured Blog)</title>
		<guid isPermaLink="true">https://circleid.com/posts20190306_say_yes_to_dnssec</guid>
		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20190306_say_yes_to_dnssec</link>
		<description><![CDATA[With the latest "DNSpionage" attack, ICANN astutely prompted domain name holders to fully deploy DNSSEC on their names. Afilias absolutely supports this and encourages the same. In this post, I remind you of why DNSSEC is important and our continued role. Afilias has a long history in the development and advocacy of DNSSEC. In 2007, we partnered with Public Interest Registry to help found dnssec-deployment.org. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20190306_say_yes_to_dnssec">More...</a>]]></description>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20190220_building_a_secure_global_network</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Recently, the DNS has come under an extensive attack. The so-called "DNSpionage" campaigns have brought to light the myriad methods used to infiltrate networks. These attacks employed phishing, system hopping via key exfiltration, and software zero day exploits, illustrating that many secure networks may not be fully protected. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20190220_building_a_secure_global_network">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> Equifax Breach: 9 Fraud Prevention Steps Everyone Should Take (Featured Blog)</title>

		<link>https://circleid.com/posts20171019_equifax_breach_a_9_step_fraud_prevention_plan</link>
		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. Internet Revenue Service now says that criminals already had most of the information that credit bureau Equifax lost in a breach that revealed personal information about nearly 150 million people. The incident at Equifax and the IRS' mid-October admission of how much-stolen data was already in criminal hands may force changes in how the world handles personal information. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20171019_equifax_breach_a_9_step_fraud_prevention_plan">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DDoS attacks, phishing scams and malware. We battle these dark forces every day - and every day they get more sophisticated. But what worries me isn't just keeping up with them, it is keeping up with the sheer volume of devices and data that these forces can enlist in an attack. That's why we as an industry need to come together and share best practices - at the ICANN community, at the IETF and elsewhere - so collectively we are ready for the future. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20160929_maintaining_security_and_stability_in_the_internet_ecosystem">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The Internet is undergoing an evolutionary transformation resulting from the explosive growth of things that are interconnected. From single purpose sensors through wearable technologies to sophisticated computing devices, we are creating, exchanging, and consuming more data at rates that would have been inconceivable just a decade ago. The market suggests the average consumer believes this is the best world possible. As technologists, we have a responsibility to consider if we are building an Internet that is in the best interest of the user. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20160721_developing_internet_of_things_building_blocks">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you ready to help me make the Internet more secure? Here's your chance to join me in a project to create an open-source hardware device to protect email, files and other data from hackers and government spies. The CrypTech Project was founded in late 2013 after NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed that the US and other governments were exploiting weak cryptography and loose standards to gain access to citizens' email, documents, and other files. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20151104_help_cryptech_and_me_make_the_internet_more_secure">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> The Internet of Things: When Sci-Fi Becomes Reality (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last blog post I shared some of the general security challenges that come with the Internet of Things (IoT). In this post, I will focus on one particular security risk: distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks. Even before the age of IoT, DDoS attacks have been turning multitudes of computers into botnets, attacking a single target and causing denial of services for the target's users. By "multitudes" we can be talking about thousands or even millions of victim devices. Now add IoT into the equation... <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20150806_the_internet_of_things_when_sci_fi_becomes_reality">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[News flash: to help fight California's drought, Samsung is offering a $100,000 prize to the innovator who creates "the most effective use of IoT and ARTIK [Samsung's IoT platform] technology for reducing water consumption by individuals or municipalities." When the average reader of this news headline needs no explanation of what "IoT" means or what this contest is about, we know IoT, or the Internet of Things, is for real. There are already an estimated 25 billion connected devices around the world, according to expert estimates. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20150602_internet_of_things_solving_security_challenges">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The latest Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG) Global Phishing Survey, which analyzed over 100,000 phishing attacks in the first half of 2014, examines the progress that top level domains (TLDs) are making in responding to phishing attacks that use their TLDs. The report finds the .INFO domain has the lowest average phishing uptimes as compared to other TLDs, such as .COM and .NET. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20141208_which_domains_stand_the_strongest_against_phishing_attacks">More...</a>]]></description>

		<title> More Problems Crop Up With Universal Acceptance of Top Level Domains (Featured Blog)</title>

		<description><![CDATA[I've often found truth in the famous George Santayana quote, "Those that cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." That's an apt warning for what is currently happening - again - with the hundreds of new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) that are launching ... and failing to work as expected on the Internet. First, a quick refresher: As most CircleID readers know, in the early 2000s, seven new gTLDs were launched: .AERO, .BIZ, .COOP, .INFO, .MUSEUM, .NAME and .PRO. Aside from Country Code TLDs (ccTLDs), these were the first top-level changes to the DNS since the early days of the Internet. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20140207_more_problems_crop_up_universal_acceptance_of_top_level_domains">More...</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Despite security advances over the past year, including the increased deployment of DNSSEC, pirates continue to wreak havoc on the Internet. But before you decide that Internet security innovations are futile, consider this: online criminals are just like burglars in the physical world; they don't take new ways of blocking their best efforts lying down. They come up with new and, in some cases, stronger plans of attack. <a href="https://circleid.com/posts20121207_2012_global_phishing_trends_uptime_down_numbers_up">More...</a>]]></description>
