Better Abuse Reports, Easier and Faster Action
NetBeacon addresses the industry-wide need for a simplified, standardized, and streamlined abuse reporting service. The new reporting service was launched by the DNS Abuse Institute, and developed utilizing CleanDNS’s evidence-based workflow for domain abuse reporting.
DNS Abuse Can Now Be Reported by Anyone
Reporting DNS abuse shouldn’t be difficult, technical, or tedious. Often, it is not hard to spot a bad actor when it is compromising your email inbox. NetBeacon aims to create an easy DNS abuse reporting service so that anyone can report malicious Internet activity.
Harmful Internet activities that can be reported:
- Malware
- Botnets
- Phishing
- Spam
NetBeacon will collect standardized reports of DNS Abuse, enrich them with useful information for registrars, and route reports through the appropriate channels. Each report will include fields for the domain in question, the type of abuse, a description of abuse, date of abuse, and any additional evidence.
Good for Registrars – Good for Internet Safety
NetBeacon not only helps registrar partners effectively address DNS Abuse on the back-end—it also provides an opportunity to publicly illustrate a commitment to a safer Internet for all users.
