\n<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>* Hacking, Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks, other technical abuses<\/p>\n<p>A natural question from these statistics is: what is the difference between the total number of domains flagged as abusive and the number of domains PIR or the registrar acts upon? Many of the domains flagged for abuse are actually \u201ccompromised cases,\u201d where the domains are initially registered for non-abusive purposes, but the registrant\u2019s domain is put to abusive purposes without its consent. Suspension at the registry level is not the appropriate action to deal with a compromised domain; instead the registrar or host should work to get control of the domain back into the registrant\u2019s hands. Additionally, sometimes domains are flagged as abusive by Reputation Block Lists (RBLs) but then \u201cun-flagged\u201d for a variety of reasons.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n
