Cyber squatters are opening ‘spoof’ travel sites mimicking real ones
In order to keep these cyber squatters from fidgeting with the original sites, many companies have developed dedicated teams who just keep on purchasing all possible domains that can be a potential spoof sites. Unfortunately, however hard these companies try, it seems impossible to totally get rid of these spoof sites, which not only eat away customer base but also destroys the brand and the reputation of the original company. To make matters worse, sometimes competitors themselves are involved in designing of these spoof sites and in directing them to unwanted links.
Banking, education, information, ministry, defence et al are sitting ducks in this maddening world wide web of spamming and squatting. It’s high time that ministries and policy makers take this matter seriously and draft strong and water tight laws that can not only stop these cyber squatters and spoofers, but can also initiate civil (or criminal, if the case may be) action against them through extremely stringent and well defined judicial regulations.
