| How do .AERO domain names provide better protection from Cyber Crime? |
Michael Chertoff, Assistant Attorney General, in his testimony to the US Congress said of cybercrime: .Over the last decade, use of computers and the Internet has grown exponentially. Indeed, for many individuals it is an integral part of their daily lives. With little more than a click of a mouse, people can communicate, transfer information, engage in commerce, and expand their educational opportunities. Unfortunately, criminals exploit these same technologies to commit crimes and harm the safety, security, and privacy of us all. Indeed, as more people go online, more criminals are realizing that online crime can be lucrative, especially given the amount of valuable commercial and personal information now being stored electronically.
So-called "cybercrime" can be divided into two categories. On the one hand, we are seeing the migration of "traditional" crimes from the physical to the online world. These crimes include threats, child pornography, fraud, gambling, extortion, and theft of intellectual property. Simply put, criminals are migrating online because they can reach more victims quickly, can collaborate with other criminals, can disguise their identities, and can use the global nature of the Internet to remain anonymous.
On the other hand, the Internet has spawned an entirely new set of criminal activity that targets computer networks themselves. Included in this category are such crimes as hacking, releasing viruses, and shutting down computers by flooding them with unwanted information (so-called "denial of service" attacks). Our vulnerability to . and the damages caused by . this type of crime are astonishingly high.
Since .AERO domain names are allocated only for the use of Aviation community, the probability of being targeted by cybersquatters is very low. Each .AERO domain name applicant is individually authenticated by SITA, the .AERO registry. As a result, there is a high degree of reliability about .AERO domain names.
Of course, once you have a .AERO domain name, it is possible that your web site becomes so popular that you are targeted by Denial of Service attacks, viruses or hacking. These are normal web site problems that will persist regardless of whether you own a .aero web site or a .com web site.
