domains 1st AI-driven proactive suspension system for domain names

[Lox]

Over 3.6 million .eu domain names are registered by businesses and private individuals. EURid, the organization that manages the .eu internet space, has launched an award winning AI-driven system that can detect which .eu domain names will be used for malicious purposes, and automatically suspends those before they can do any harm.

Project APEWS – Advanced Prediction and Early Warning System – is the first ever system that can detect domain name abuse before it takes place and bases its decisions on novel machine learning algorithms developed at KU Leuven.

In 75% of the cases where the system flagged a domain name, the prediction was confirmed by third-party abuse indicators. Since its deployment, over 60.000 malicious .eu domain name registrations were correctly identified.

This requires resistance or a complete phaseout of the extension. Unacceptable to have 25% failure rate. All innocent victims of pre-crime tactics are VICTIMS that were likely worst off than any of the possible victims that "malicious" domains could cause.
