Government and Banks will create “banco.ar”.

With the creation of the new extension “banco.ar” it is seek to hinder virtual fraud against users of Home Banking in Argentina.

The creation of this extension will give even more strength to the idea of creating new secure spaces in the virtual world through restricted domains that will allow more security for users.

Brazil already adopted this idea creating the extension “B.BR” that can only be used by financial entities that accredit a high level of security against virtual fraud.

Some weeks ago the national government and banks that operate in the country started to work on the creation of this extension oriented specifically for Argentinean Banking activities, with the objective of reducing virtual defraud cases, known as “phishing”.

“Phishing” is the capacity of duplicating a web site to make the visitor think that the web site is the original, instead of the forged. The idea of the mislead is to acquire confidential information of the user, like password, credit card or financial/banking information.

The criminals take advantage of the expansion of the Net, formed by millions of users, where the target never gets exhausted. However, phishing frauds have become more sophisticated and the criminals have developed “a threat thought for each user (thought for each user)”: The banking fraud is the most usual professional computing crime. The criminals attack the system in their weaker link: the client, or now even more, its personal computer.

NIC ARGENTINA LIMITS TO 200 THE .AR REGISTRATION

Because of abuses on the registration of domains in Argentina where some entities (Entidad Registrante) have thousands of domains, it has been establish a limit on the number of domains allowed per entity (Entidad Registrante) to 200 domains under the extensions “.com.ar” or “.org.ar”.

The basis for this decision are the following:

- Article 1.071 from the Argentinean Civil Code, which establishes “… The law does not protect the abusive exercise of the rights. This considers those who exceed the limits impose by the good faith, moral and good behavior”.

- The increasing Internet community, pretending to access domains which are adequate to their necessities are found to be limited by a natural person or company who register domains merely by speculative reasons.

- 25% of the total of domains registered have been requested by a 0.17% of the entities registered in NIC Argentina.

Entities with more than 200 domains.

From the publication of this present Resolution on the Official Bulletin, the entities (Entidad Registrante) with more than TWO HUNDRED (200) registered domains:

Will not be able to register new domains.
Will not be able to receive transfers from third parties.
Will be able to renew up to TWO HUNDRED (200) of the registered domains.

This limitation is applicable to the pending requests, which will be deleted insofar as the requests made by the entities (Entidad Registrante) which already have registered TWO HUNDRED (200) or more domains.

Extension of the Limit:

In case an entity (Entidad Registrante) needs to register more than the limit TWO HUNDRED (200) domain names, must send a letter to NIC Argentina for each new domain, where it should base the necessity of the additional domain over the establish limit and declaring the legitimate interest, goods and services with that name, or if it is known publicly under that name.

Those domains given over the limit of the TWO HUNDRED (200) domains (exceptions) will not be able to be transferred to a third party.
