Facebook sues Namecheap over malicious domains
Lawsuit filed
Facebook filed a lawsuit against Namecheap, alleging that Namecheap refused to cooperate with an investigation into malicious domains registered through its service that impersonated the Facebook brand.
Company response
Denial — Namecheap
Facebook may be willing to tread all over their customers’ privacy on their own platform, and in this case it appears they want other companies to do it for them, with their own customers.
Source excerpt
Facebook filed a lawsuit this week against Namecheap, one of the biggest domain name registrars on the internet.
The social networking giant claims that Namecheap has refused to cooperate in an investigation into a series of malicious domains that have been registered through its service and which impersonated the Facebook brand.
Apparently notices were sent by Facebook to Namecheap over the last two years and the company "declined to cooperate," so legal action has now been taken.
