Protecting Digital Assets -- Domain Names
by Mohan Hr 17 Jan '21

17 Jan '21

An interesting story on protecting domain names. Not to be missed by owners of domain names -- important digital assets The continuing story provides the full details. Don't miss to read. With regards -- hrmohan Union Bank of India is considered one of the better managed banks in India and RBI recently merged Corporation Bank and Andhra Bank with Union Bank. Both the merged Banks had decades of history and brand name amongst its customers. However, Union Bank seems to be completely unaware of the banking risks in the digital era or it is so poor as not to be able to invest around Rs 800/- ( to renew the domain names of acquired/merged banks -- Corporation Bank & Andhra Bank) on behalf of each of the merged Banks to protect the interests of the customers of these Banks. I wish the Chairman of Union Bank of India looks at why I am forced to make the statement that “Union Bank of India will be facilitating Phishing by Ignorance and Negligence”. https://www.naavi.org/wp/union-bank-of-india-will-be-facilitating-phishing-… -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
