MANAGING DOMAIN NAME ABUSE
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.
1 . A method for providing an abuse sentry service for responding to domain name abuse, comprising the steps of:
receiving, at a computer, a plurality of disparate abuse feeds, each abuse feed comprising data relating to a particular subset of potential domain name abuse;
applying one or more filters to the data to create a custom abuse feed;
grouping the filtered data from the custom abuse feed into groups of data based on priority levels;
for each of the groups of data, executing one or more corresponding workflows as a response to the potential domain name abuse.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the filters are predefined, customized or a combination thereof
3 . The method of claim 1 , each of the plurality disparate abuse feeds has an associated reliability level.
4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the reliability level is assigned by an abuse service generating the abuse feed, a trusted third party, the abuse sentry service or any combination thereof.
5 . A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for execution by a computing device, which when executed cause the computing device to implement the steps of:
receiving a plurality of disparate abuse feeds, each abuse feed comprising data relating to particular subset of potential domain name abuse;
applying one or more filters to the data to create a custom abuse feed;
grouping the filtered data from the custom abuse feed into groups of data based on priority levels;
for each of the groups of data, executing one or more corresponding workflows as a response to the potential domain name abuse.
