What is COMAR?
In a nutshell, COMAR is an experimental system capable of distinguishing between domain names registered by cybercriminals for malicious purposes, and domain names exploited by taking advantage of vulnerabilities in web applications.
COMAR enables various intermediaries, such as registrars, hosting providers and top-level domain (TLD) registries, to further optimise their anti-abuse processes. A domain name classified as maliciously registered can be blocked by the registry or registrar, according to applicable policies, by removing the name from the zone file. A legitimate but compromised domain name should not be blocked but rather the malicious content should be removed by the hosting provider or domain owner (registrant).
