This report also explores the no-holds-barred world of so-called domainers, the website speculators whose sole purpose is to snap up potentially valuable names and sell them at a premium – regardless of whether the name might have public interest benefits (as was the case with coronavirusinfo.com, which a domainer purchased at the start of the COVID crisis and immediately put up for auction for a minimum price of $5,000). In another instance, Digital Citizens investigators attempted to purchase daterapedrug. com, but were informed that it would cost $4,745 to do so. Instead, Digital Citizens was able to purchase date-rape-drug.com from Namecheap, a domain registrar called out by a leading cyber security company of sponsoring malicious domains.
