Mobile ID solution of Vietnammobile Vietnamobile and IPification have just announced the launch of Mobile ID service in Vietnam – The ultimate authentication solution for smartphone transactions for Vietnamobile subscribers. Instead of traditional authentication steps that still contain many risks such as providing phone numbers and SMS OTP authentication, users only need to authorize Vietnamobile to authenticate the device’s ID; Transactions on mobile phones will be automatically verified and secured by Vietnamobile. According to information, the service will soon be integrated for Vietnamobile users. According to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), SMS authentication is not secure enough. Hackers can hack to transfer SMS messages to phone numbers that do not belong to the owner. These tricks are so sophisticated that you won’t even know your messages have been stolen. NIST also warns that phone numbers registered on applications such as Facebook Messenger, Viber are likely to be hacked and reveal the verification code on SMS. An alternative solution is to use 2-layer security or use a security code from a token device. However, this method is quite complicated and causes interruptions in transactions, so most users find it very annoying. The Mobile ID service uses the technology of IPification. This is predicted to be the foundation for mobile authentication now and in the future. Mobile ID enables the authentication of compatible mobile users by verifying the device, SIM and phone number via IP address, intended to prevent fraud in mobile registration and transaction approval. Mobile ID service requires no additional settings, no need to enter a password, and does not require any action from the user. A representative of Vietnamobile said, “The number of Vietnamobile subscribers for online transactions has grown rapidly. In light of this trend, we look forward to providing our subscribers with a safe and convenient online trading platform.” Vietnamobile’s Mobile ID security solution was born to meet the mobile reality when all online activities and transactions of customers are done on smartphones. “We want our customers to be able to enjoy the best solution in terms of security, identity authentication, payment, login,” he said. Mr. Stefan Kostic, CEO of IPification shared. “As the number of online user activities globally is skyrocketing, we will provide the most secure, yet seamless authentication and transaction validation solution for Vietnamobile users.” MobiIPification Pification solution is trusted by leading telecommunications, technology, payment and OTT companies such as Microsoft, GBG, DataZoo, 3HongKong, Axiata Digital. Currently, IPification’s solution has reached more than 550 million devices in 18 markets globally. PV

According to editor Doroteya Borisova of biên PhoneArena , how Apple handles the account depends on whether relatives seek legal intervention or not. In iCloud’s terms and conditions, Apple says that it can proactively delete iCloud accounts that have been inactive for a year or more, or have been discontinued by users. The data stored in the iPhone, iCloud of the deceased is a difficult problem to handle if the loved one does not have their password. Photo: iMore. This provision indicates that Apple may, in its sole discretion, check whether an account has been discontinued before proceeding with the deletion of the account. However, this will be notified 30 days in advance via the user’s email. Who can access the iCloud of the deceased? iCloud is inherently where all of your iPhone’s information is stored, including backups, photos, videos, iMessages and texts, and purchase history for Apple services (including music and movies). You can assume that a deceased person’s Apple ID will be assigned to the closest family members, to recover the last stored memories. However, according to the legal terms that the user agreed to from the beginning, the loved one does not automatically access the account of the deceased. The clause also stipulates that if there is an intervention from the law, relatives can access the data of the deceased. The procedure to prove to Apple includes providing the name and Apple ID of the deceased person who is requesting access, proof of ownership of the Apple ID, and a court order. Forgot password feature when logging into iCloud. Photo: lifewire.com Plus, if you can access the deceased person’s iCloud-linked email account, legal troubles won’t be an issue. By using the “Forgot Password” feature when signing in to iCloud, you can easily change your account’s password with the account’s associated email. However, Borisova also noted that this practice may violate Apple’s terms of use, leading to the suspension or termination of the account if detected. Here’s what happened to user Jeff Fischer in 2020. Fischer said he was a relative of a deceased person. This person’s account still has 100 USD payable in iTunes. Fischer said he wants to recover the money and send it back to the account holder’s sister. “It took me a lot of phone calls and emails to Apple support to find an employee who knew these issues. I provide the death certificate and notarized copy of my legal status as the decedent’s representative. However, instead of transferring the money from one Apple ID to another, they insist on closing the account and then issuing a check for the remaining credit,” Fischer said. So what about the iPhone? If the deceased is the only individual with the iPhone’s password, access to the phone is not possible even though you are authorized to access their iCloud. Even the FBI does not have a special way to get the password on the iPhone. The only way is to have to set up iCloud on a separate phone or completely factory reset the iPhone of the deceased. However, this means that any information that has not been backed up on iCloud will be lost. Apple’s Legacy Contact feature in iOS 15 update later this year. Photo: PhoneArena. From iOS 15, iCloud account holders can set up trusted contacts, allowing information to be passed on to these people if the account holder dies. Those on the trusted list can then request access to the deceased person’s account. They just need to provide a copy of the death certificate.

VssID application can replace health insurance cards, social insurance books Vietnam Social Insurance has actively brought utilities, payment information, benefits to social insurance and health insurance (HI), towards integration, provision of public services, online payment services. application on mobile devices. This is a step in line with the current trend of digital transformation, building a digital government and a digital nation. It is known that Vietnam Social Insurance is an agency for 4 consecutive years, from 2017 to 2020, holding the 2nd position in the application of Information Technology (IT) in Government agencies (According to the ICT Index compiled by the Ministry of Finance). Ministry of Information and Communications annual assessment report). The deployment of VssID – Digital Social Insurance application on the smartphone system is considered one of the key tasks to bring more convenience to people and businesses when they register to use it. VssID application was developed rapidly and has been widely promoted for everyone to install on smartphones. From June 1, 2021, health insurance participants can use photos on VssID for medical examination and treatment. Mr. HHH, an IT expert of a securities company, was one of those who installed the VssID application. “During this transition period, I find it acceptable, the best thing is that my health insurance card is damaged and I don’t have to apply for a new one. I updated the 2 kids in less than 10 minutes to activate. But not everyone has such an easy experience. Mr. D.TT (Hanoi) shared: “Because the application allows to register a phone number without OTP authentication, when I registered, it turned out that my phone number was registered by a person in Ha Tinh. Had to call a few times there to change it back, it took a few days. The call center has run out of words. Called dozens of times, no one picked up the phone. And Ms. D.T (HCMC) said: “It took me nearly a dozen times to register, fortunately I didn’t have to call the switchboard.” “In response to the social insurance campaign, I installed VssID last month. In general, the interface of the VssID app is also quite normal, if not bad,” commented Anh VHA (Hanoi). “I just tried to check on June 1, I found it incredibly boring, far behind the online sales apps. But more importantly, when viewing information, it is extremely slow due to having to download data” – Ms. NTTH (HCMC) shared a screenshot showing that it takes 3 to 5 minutes to log in to the system. But according to those who have tried installing the app, the worst experience is in the customer support. Call center 1900.9068 called dozens of times, no one picked up the phone, emailed no response, and the chatbot was ineffective. Customers when using a product or service that have problems, they will be very disappointed and angry when there is no support. While social insurance provides 3 support channels, none of them work effectively. This is an issue to be aware of in the provision of public services. When looking up information about the insurance premium period, some people find that the application does not fully show their insurance period. “Last month, when I looked up my social insurance payment information, I only looked up the latest 3 months’ social insurance payment information. This month, the VssID app is updated, the information is more complete, showing 19 years of premium payment, but still missing my 4-year period. It can be said that the database of social insurance is problematic, not really synchronized. The IT infrastructure of Vietnam Social Security seems to be still not commensurate with the tasks and responsibilities,” said one user. In addition, the problem that many people wonder about is the possibility of personal data leakage. Mr. MT, an IT expert of IBM commented: “VssID is very convenient to have the name and year of birth to find out the social insurance number and some other information. But if not clever, hackers can steal the entire database.” As a Digital Transformation expert and monitoring the “Vietnam ICT Index Readiness for Application and Development” (Vietnam ICT Index), I realize that besides the commendable efforts, digital transformation of Social Security There are still many problems to fix. In the effort to build e-Government in ministries and branches, one of the important goals is to bring 100% of public services to the online environment, to smart mobile devices. I think, ministries and sectors should pay attention to service quality instead of following 100% quantity. Hopefully, Social Security will quickly overcome the disadvantages of the VssID application as well as carefully review its industry’s Digital Transformation plan to better serve the legitimate needs of the insured.

According to Mr. Phan Vinh (Linh Nam, Hanoi), about a week ago, he was constantly tagged (marked) on posts on the social network Facebook. All of these posts have the same content related to an accident. In addition to information about the victim’s name, the article also includes a link for users to verify for themselves. “I know many people with the same name as the victim, the post is not full, so I can’t be sure who it is. Moreover, I didn’t know who the person tagged me, so I ignored those posts,” Vinh said. Users need to be wary of being tagged in Facebook posts by strangers.

When someone asks you to borrow money on Facebook, don’t trust it, call that person directly (or through another app) to verify this information. Only with such vigilance, can users escape the “claw” of online scammers.

They believe that the US technology company has a monopoly when the App Store is the only “door” to download many applications to iPhone and iPad. The application emphasizes that after 13 years, the App Store is still the only source for Apple devices to access applications, proving that the company has been selfish, charging login fees and using this mechanism unfairly. They claim this is proprietary behavior. According to the lawsuit, Apple receives about 30% of the cost of purchasing an app. Apple, for its part, calls this a planned lawsuit and shouldn’t have happened. The company insists it is committed to its customers and that the App Store has greatly benefited the UK creative economy.

App Store is always accused of charging too much According to this lecturer after 13 years, the App Store is still the only source for Apple devices to access applications, reflecting the company’s selfish “guarding” of the entrance to the world of applications, charging subscription fees. import and use “unfairly” and this is proprietary behavior. According to the lawsuit, Apple receives about 30% of the cost of purchasing an app. Apple has denied these allegations and said it would be open to discussing “the commitment to consumers and the many benefits the App Store has brought to the UK’s innovation economy”. The company also compared the App Store to other digital marketplaces and reiterated that the majority of developers don’t pay Apple for anything because 84% of the apps on the App Store are free.

In the world, it is true that there are many digital currencies (like Bitcoin) that are recognized by countries and in fact many entrepreneurs have become billionaires thanks to it. Many technology experts believe that digital currencies in the future will be encrypted with top secret, able to cross space, time, and transact easily… Of course, the current operating environment is only for transactions in one multinationals (there are large American companies that are even richer than a sovereign nation) are experienced enough; did not say anything on the internet. As long as some large enterprises accept the transaction (a certain digital currency) it can circulate within the allowed range. Recently, with the participation of billionaire Elon Musk (famous Tesla boss of South African origin), Bitcoin has skyrocketed in price. Because the community using digital currency is still a minority (compared to real money), it is still called virtual money. Because, transactions are still converted into real money (through strong currencies like USD). Just like real money, there are different types of virtual money. As a general trend, many digital businesses want to create their own currency. For example, even the social network Facebook also formed a coin called Diem (formerly named Libra). The problem is that in Vietnam, the currencies that are used by the world’s billionaires and some countries for the above transactions are not accepted by the authorities in the country. There are many reasons, but it is possible that controlling such coins is not easy. In addition to virtual currencies with “cheek numbers”, many fake “boss” set up floors and set up servers abroad to attract participants with huge profits. These brokers are called binary options trading (a way of betting to predict the price of virtual currencies, stocks rising/falling). Many times, its form is no different from a type of online gambling. Not to mention, with this virtual currency, football betting houses (overseas) or something similar can easily receive bets. Virtual money transfers are also difficult for the state to control through tax collection… Most importantly, both in the world and in Vietnam, many exchanges suddenly closed, collapsed due to the sudden death or escape of the owner. led to the deaths of tens of thousands of “mommoths”. The deaths are similar to the collapse of the multi-level system.

More than 1.2 million black transactions over 2 years The work started in mid-2010, Ross Ulbricht, born in 1984, obtained a master’s degree at the University of Pennsylvania, USA, majoring in Computer Science but passionate about free economic theory. In February 2011, Ross and his two friends Jones and Smedley gave birth to the Silk Road website with the statement: “I create a model so that everyone can experience firsthand what we have. trading rights… ”. However, the things Ross sold for sale on the Silk Road site are murderous things. It includes heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, amphetamine, meth, marijuana, ecstasy … Customers who want to log into this website are required to buy an account and pay a monthly fee. After buying, Silk Road will provide them with a software that hides all information each time they log in to avoid the tracking of authorities such as the FBI, the US Drug Prevention Agency ( DEA). The average person who goes to the Silk Road site will only see it advertising about 10,000 products such as clothes, art works, books, cigarettes, jewelry … with public terms, such as “no sale or purchase. anything that has a malicious or deceptive purpose, including child pornography, stolen credit cards, weapons … ”but in fact, 70% of all goods sold online are drugs. Grouped with titles: Stimulants, hallucinogenic drugs, drug precursors, meth, opium, ecstasy, psychotropic drugs and steroids. Besides, there is also a fake driver’s license, but only members with access can access this “market”. Also to avoid being tracked, Silk Road’s server was located in Reykjavík, Iceland, while Ross took his alias (nickname) as Dread Pirate Roberts. All transactions on the Silk Road site are made with Bitcoin virtual currency, not cash. Ross Ulbricht, the owner of Silk Road. In June 2011, information about Silk Road began to appear in the press, making it famous, leading to increasing traffic. In this situation, an American senator, Mr. Charles Schumer, asked the FBI and DEA to close it. The collapse of Silk Road began in February 2013, when an Australian national cocaine and MDMA (ecstasy) dealer became the first person to be convicted for crimes directly related to Silk Road. While searching the man’s home, the police discovered files on his laptop that proved he bought drugs from Silk Road. In December 2013, Australian police cooperated with DEA ​​to arrest another New Zealander when he had just received 15 grams of methamphetamine purchased on Silk Road. The FBI obtained 11.02 Bitcoins – equivalent to $ 814 at the time. According to the FBI and DEA, based on collected data, from February 3, 2012 to July 24, 2012, an estimated $ 15 million in transactions were made on Silk Road. “A significant increase in volume from $ 30 million to $ 45 million in a short period of time won’t do,” Nicolas Christin, a Silk Road researcher, said in an interview with the Global Economic news site. I am surprised. The buyer and seller make all transactions in the virtual currency Bitcoin in the form of Mr. A, for example, placing an order for Bitcoin at an investment channel – of course it is legal. Then, Mr. A sold to Mr. B – it is also legal but in fact, the Bitcoin A sold to B is the amount to pay to buy drugs. Silk Road holds A’s Bitcoins through B’s account until A receives the goods. However, by the time A transfers Bitcoin to B, Silk Road will activate a hedging mechanism that allows B to retain the value of Bitcoin relative to the USD. Any change in Bitcoin price that occurs in the process of not being delivered to A, Silk Road is not responsible ”. According to the FBI and DEA, from February 6, 2011 to July 23, 2013, there were 1,229,465 completed transactions on the Silk Road website with the participation of 146,946 people, of which 30% came from the United States. followed by UK, Australia, Germany, Canada, Sweden, France, Russia, Italy and the Netherlands. The rest about 27% did not declare their address. Also during the 60-day period from May 24 to July 23, 1,217,218 messages were sent through Silk Road’s own system. The ecstasy sells on Silk Road for 0.69 Bitcoin 1 gram, but requires an account to log in. Make billions of dollars by selling drugs through the web At 3:15 p.m. on October 2, 2013, Ross Ulbricht, the founder of Silk Road, was arrested while in the Glen Park library, San Francisco city, California on charges of buying, selling, transporting narcotics, money laundering, illegally entering computer networks. Initially, the FBI seized 26,000 Bitcoins from Silk Road accounts, equivalent to $ 36 million (as of 2013). Near the end of October, the FBI collected an additional 144,342 Bitcoins, worth $ 87 million. The capture of Ross is also not easy because Silk Road operates on the hidden operating system, The Onion Router. First, FBI computer experts discovered Ross’s email address on the Gmail website. In those emails, a number of files were sent to a person named Altoid. From there the FBI knew that Altoid had once posted an article on a forum about the virtual currency Bitcoin, asking experts in the field to email him at an address. Following that address, the FBI found it linked to multiple Gmail accounts. Youtube and Linkedin all share the same destination, Silk Road. And because every time online, Ross uses the VPN protocol to conceal his location, so the FBI has to apply for a court order, requiring the internet provider to publish Ross’s VPN. It leads to an internet cafe in San Francisco and eventually a library in the Glen Park neighborhood, where Ross was arrested. Ross’ trial began on January 13, 2015 in Manhattan Federal Court. During the interrogation, Ross admitted he had founded the Silk Road website but he said that he transferred the admin rights to someone else shortly after Silk Road was born. In defense of Ross, the lawyers assumed that the nickname Dread Pirate Roberts was actually Mark Karpeles, and Karpeles used Ross to commit illegal acts. However, Judge Katherine B. Forrestra ruled, dismissing all of these excuses During the second week of the trial, the prosecutor presented documents and chat logs from Ross’s computer, proving he directly managed Silk Road using BitTorren software to conceal all manipulations. on the Silk Road site for both drug dealers and buyers. When the FBI arrested Ross, his personal computer was still running the software. Silk Road drugs sent to buyers by mail were seized by the FBI. On February 4, 2015, a jury convicted Ross of seven offenses, including “continuous participation in a criminal business, drug trafficking, intentional concealment of income, money laundering and trespassing. illegal computer entry ”. Ross was sentenced to life in prison without parole. It is worth noting that during the trial, Judge Forrest received death threats multiple times. On a website called The Hidden Wiki, someone posted Judge Forrest’s personal information, including his home address and social security number. Ross’s attorney Joshua Dratel stated that he and his client “strongly condemned anonymous posts concerning Judge Forrest”. “Ross has nothing to do with the site, and his The Hidden Wiki posts do not reflect his opinion,” Dratel said. In a letter to Judge Forrest prior to his sentencing, Ross said his actions through Silk Road were an expression of liberal economicism, and: “Silk Road was created to give everyone the right to their own choices, “but Ross also admitted” made a terrible mistake, ruined a lifetime. ” On May 29, 2015, a jury of the Manhattan Federal Court ruled that Ross had to serve 5 sentences, including 2 life sentences without parole, Ross was also confiscated $ 183 million. On May 31, 2017, the Court of Appeal rejected Ross’s appeal and the Supreme Court also refused to review Ross’ case. Parallel to the Ross trial, the court also brought to the trial two federal agents who secretly investigated Silk Road. One of these two is Carl Mark, a DEA employee, and the other is agent Shaun Bridges. Both took Ross’ money for falsely reporting Silk Road activities. Among the more than 130 suspects arrested by the FBI for drug trafficking and money laundering, there is Dutch drug dealer Cornelis Jan “Maikel” Slomp, 23, who was accused of buying and selling drugs on a large scale through the site. web Silk Road and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Another, Steven Sadler, was sentenced to five years in prison. In addition, there are two Silk Road administrators Andrew Michael Jones and Gary Davis with the nicknames “Inigo” and “Libertas”, both of which were also sentenced to prison. Shortly after Silk Road collapsed, on the Internet, there suddenly appeared a website Silk Road 2.0, operated by the nickname “Defcon”. On February 13, 2014, Defcon announced that $ 2.7 million in Silk Road 2.0’s escrow accounts had been stolen, but he promised to return the full amount to the account holders. On November 6, 2014, the FBI arrested Blake Benthall, who ran Silk Road 2.0 under the name “Defcon” with an Englishman, Thomas White, who started the website Silk Road 2.0 but information about the arrest. only announced by the FBI in 2019. Yet, in order to “follow” the Silk Road brand, in January 2015, Diabolus Market launched the Silk Road Reloaded website with features similar to Ross’ Silk Road. but it was also taken down by the FBI. On November 3, 2020, FBI agents specialized in currency tracking discovered 2 transactions with a total of 69,370 Bitcoins, worth about $ 1 billion at that time, made from a related address. Silk Road website. Investigation results showed that this Bitcoin belongs to an individual with the nickname “X”. who bought Bitcoin from Silk Road before it collapsed. According to the FBI, they are still investigating this address to see if it is a new generation Silk Road, or just the remaining issues of Silk Road.

Recently, on social networks, there has been a situation of buying and selling clips from camera accounts stolen by bad objects. Depending on the quality of the content, the associations that sell the 18+ clip will collect a fee from 100,000 to 250,000 VND per joining. Not only providing depraved content, some groups also share hacked camera access accounts for a package fee of about 3-4 million VND. The fact that cameras are installed everywhere, the number of cameras is constantly increasing, making data from the camera a source of information targeted by many objects. (Artwork: Internet) According to experts of the National Cyber ​​Security Monitoring Center (NCSC), the Information Security Department, the Ministry of Information and Communications, the sale of account information on social networks is not a new behavior, but it has exported. appeared long ago. However, in the past, normally subjects only sold bank accounts, social networks or accounts containing information such as email, phone number, identity card number … Nowadays, when cameras are installed everywhere, the number is constantly increasing, being a source of information targeted by many audiences, the camera account also becomes “hot goods” on the account trading pages. “This form of purchase is becoming more popular because the number of cameras is increasing. Victims who lost their camera account can be monitored by others through their own camera, ”said the NCSC representative. Many users accidentally revealed the camera system login information According to experts, there are many reasons for the widespread purchase and sale of clips and camera accounts on the network, in part due to regulations and sanctions against acts of buying, selling and distributing personal data. not enough deterrent. Commenting on the reason that the personal camera system is vulnerable to hacker attacks, both subjectively and objectively, NCSC’s representative said: “Subjective is because users accidentally reveal account login information. camera. And objectively, because users use poor quality camera equipment, do not ensure enough information security, leading to the device can be hacked by hackers, thereby getting the login account “. Having the same opinion with the representative of NCSC, a security expert for IoT devices at Viettel Cyber ​​Security, Ha Toan, emphasized: A fundamental reason that makes personal and household cameras easy. Hacker attacks are due to the user’s limited knowledge of using IoT devices or cameras. For example, do not change the default password of the device when it is put into use. According to Toan, another reason is that the camera device of the manufacturer does not have a protection mechanism such as verifying the integrity of the firmware running on the camera device, allowing hackers to buy camera equipment and insert backdoors. (back door – PV) and then sold to the market. “During the work, we also discovered many backdoors allowing remote access in cameras originating in China”, Viettel Cyber ​​Security expert added. Along with that, there are cameras that have vulnerabilities in firmware due to programming errors such as buffer overflow, hardcode login information, logic errors … allowing hackers to exploit to take control of the device. Camera account information can also be revealed because the installation staff deliberately fails to notify the password change during installation or notice the change but does not notice the change of the entire service as mentioned above also includes services RTSP, onVIF. Raise awareness of personal information protection, choose a reputable camera To overcome the widespread situation of buying and selling clips, camera accounts in particular as well as personal information and data, experts say that the Decree on personal data protection should be issued soon and come to life. This draft Decree has regulated heavy fines for violations of personal data protection regulations. “The more penalties for handling violations related to the purchase and sale of personal data will help increase deterrence and reduce the rate of violation”, expert of Vietnam Cyber ​​Security Joint Stock Company (VSEC) Vuong Trong Nhan stated his point of view. But experts also emphasized the limitation in the sense of protecting personal data of users as well as the organization providing services related to user data. Making recommendations to users, VSEC experts advise them to first increase their sense of self-protection by not using the camera manufacturer’s default password, setting a strong password and setting a Private network system is only for indoor security equipment, instead of sharing the same Wi-Fi network. According to representatives of NCSC, individuals and businesses when using cameras need to have strict regulations and decentralization when allowing users to access their camera systems, need to change passwords regularly to avoid in case the login information is known by many people, the risk of leaking is also higher. Emphasizing on the safety factor of the device, experts say that choosing to buy cameras manufactured from major brands, products that have been assessed for information security as well as choose a reputable installation unit. is an effective solution to help users avoid the risk of information insecurity. On the other hand, is it time for camera manufacturers to pay more attention to whether their equipment meets information security requirements?

Artwork – Time Radio Sputnik reported on April 22 that a man named Nicolas Kuronã accidentally discovered the domain name http://google.com.ar available on the registration page, so he immediately took this opportunity. Mr. Kuronã shared on Twitter personally: “I want to verify this, so I logged on to http://nic.ar (website of Argentina’s National Internet Domain Registrar. I noticed the domain name http) : //google.com.ar is available so I bought it legally! ”. According to local newspapers, Mr. Kuronã is said to have bought the area for 540 Pesos, or $ 5.79 USD. The above transaction of Mr. Kuronã is said to not affect the international domain of Google, ie “www.google.com”. How did Mr. Kuronã buy http://google.com.ar? According to Latin American regional news agency Merco Press, it is likely that Mr. Kuronã bought a Google domain name in Argentina at the brief moment between the expiration time and the renewal period of the domain name. Meanwhile, Google Argentina forgot to renew its domain name and most likely at the same time Kuronã quickly registered to buy. Kuronã’s above action is called “Cybersquatting” – the act of buying or occupying a domain name with the aim of profiting from the owner’s trademark. However, Mr. Kuronã’s ownership cannot last. The domain name in Argentina by Google was immediately restored after being personally purchased. However, users still complained about Google Argentina being shut down for about 3 hours and went to Twitter to express disappointment. “This is happening because http://nic.ar is too bad, doesn’t support automatic renewal or domain purchase for many years like most domain registrars in other countries,” one person said. world”. Meanwhile, another said: “Google was lucky because its domain name in Argentina did not fall into the hands of a professional domain usurper”.
