Typosquatters Attack on Citibank Domain
Citibank Domain : www.citibank.co.in
Typo Domain : www.citibamk.co.in / www.citibamk.org
Citibank, a leading US financial institution’s Indan domain name has been attacked by Mr R. Jain who is a resident of Rajasthan, India as provided by .IN WHOIS Registry records.
An alarming situation to witness wherein a typosquatter has registered the domain www.citibamk.co.in in the year 2005.There is a parking page with nice advertisement platform provided by Sedo. Till today, no action has been taken against him by the banking institution.
More alarming is the research that the World’s largest banking institution has been witnessed as a failure to police its online Intellectual Property worldwide.
Although Citibank, N.A holds domain rights in Citibamk.com and citibamk.net but citibamk.org again is registered by Darren Brasher from Australia recently in March, 2007.
The Intellectual Property Protection & Enforcement Strategies are very important for the companies to adopt and specially the policing of their IP Assets in an online enviorment.
