  • Patent number: 9716722
    Abstract: A method for providing an abuse sentry service for responding to domain name abuse is described. The method comprises the following steps. A plurality of disparate abuse feeds is received, each comprising data relating to a subset of potential domain name abuse. Filters are applied to the data to create a custom abuse feed. Data from the custom abuse feed is grouped based on priority levels. For each of the groups, one or more corresponding workflows are executed as a response to the potential domain name abuse. A computer readable medium including instructions for implementing the method is also described.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9282078
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically responding to domain name abuse is described. The method comprises the following steps. A plurality of disparate abuse feeds are received from a plurality of service providers. Each of the service providers is configured to collect information regarding a subset of potential domain name abuse and each abuse feed comprises data identifying domain names associated with the subset of potential domain name abuse. The data is filtered to create a custom abuse feed comprising a selective portion of the plurality of disparate abuse feeds. The filtered data from the custom abuse feed is grouped into groups of data based on predefined priority levels of the filtered data. For each of the groups of data, one or more corresponding workflows is executed as a response to the potential domain name abuse, wherein the workflow includes temporarily suspending a domain associated with the potential domain name abuse.

  • Publication number: 20150127563
    Abstract: A product certification code is provided. The product certification code is associated with a target product and comprises a uniform resource identifier (URI). The URI is configured to identify certification information at a certification data provider, which is configured to maintain the certification information about the target product. A method for retrieving the certification information from the certification data provider is also provided. Further, the certification data provider and a method for providing the certification information from the certification data provider are also provided.
