Threat-intel-backed investigation and domain takeover proceedings

Decades of experience spanning internationally recognized law firms, in-house legal teams, and elite cyber threat-intelligence teams.

I bring that experience together to investigate and disrupt malicious infrastructure, use legal process to pursue attribution, and where appropriate, make criminal referrals aimed at stopping threat actors from targeting or retargeting your organization.

Let’s explore together what makes practical sense for your organization.

How are country-code domain name disputes handled?

Country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs) do not all use the same dispute policy. Some have adopted the UDRP, some use policies modeled on it, and others apply materially different procedures, standards, remedies, or provider rules.

The first step is therefore to identify the policy that actually governs the domain rather than assuming the UDRP applies. Jonathan’s published record includes proceedings under several non-UDRP or country-specific systems, including .us disputes under the usDRP, Israeli IL-DRP matters, and Indian INDRP matters.

For example, in a 2016 IL-DRP proceeding brought by Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. v. Kobi Yosefian), the panel ordered one domain transferred and another revoked/deleted. The applicable ccTLD policy and available remedy should be checked before deciding how to proceed.
