KnujOn has found at least 19 rogue pharmacy domains, sponsored through
DIRECT INFORMATION PVT LTD D/B/A PUBLICDOMAINREGISTRY.COM (PDR) back in
operation with the same content and at the same nameserver after being
reported to ICANN by the Registrar as “suspended.” The nameserver is
also sponsored by PDR and is itself an unlicensed pharmacy site. This is
an example of a practice we have seen all too frequently where Internet
companies will remove sites temporarily for reported policy violations
only to restore them shortly afterwards. DIRECT INFO/PDR was rated the
9th Worst Registrar by KnujOn in terms of sponsoring spam sites
previously. Clearly the consumer is not being protected by the current
system.
