Jun 30, 2016 19:05 GMT  ·  By Catalin Cimpanu A crook running several tech support scam operations has managed to register 135 domains, most of which are used in his criminal activities, without anybody preventing him from doing so, which shows the sad state of Web domain registrations today.
 
His name and email address are tied to 135 domains, as MalwareHunterTeam told Softpedia. Over 120 of these domains are registered and hosted via GoDaddy and have been gradually registered across time.
 
The full list is available at the end of this article, but most of the domains look shady just based on their names. Really, how safe do you feel navigating to "security-update-needed-sys-filescorrupted-trojan-detected[.]info"? How about "personal-identity-theft-system-info-compromised[.]info"?

While the domains look suspicious to the folks that know a little bit about computer security, the general public is completely oblivious. How many times have we seen an upset consumer hammering a company on their forum about their "support" help that took their money and only made their computer worse? Most of the time they either received a popup indicating they are infected, or searched for help and clicked the first thing they saw on the search page.
