“It takes years to build a reputation and seconds to destroy it,” – Warren Buffet

Domain names are used by internet users to find companies, professionals, and personal websites. Cybercriminals take advantage of domain names' critical role by registering names that appear to be related to established domains or trademarks to profit from them. This practice, commonly known as Cybersquatting, is much more than a nuisance or a trademark issue. Earlier a company's principal fear regarding their domain name misuse was that someone would register a similar domain name to take their site visitors to another website. But today with rapidly advancing cyber threats domain names are commonly being misused for spam, phishing, malware, and other sorts of frauds and cyberattacks, which can pose severe concerns to businesses. Companies now need to upgrade their anti-cybersquatting strategies to adapt to new risks, given the potential for substantial customer and brand harm from such nefarious activities.
