Some registrars are good and some are bad and without better controls being developed by ICANN, user-based reputation system will eventually come in and will be greatly despised by registrars (like many ISPs do not like RBLs) but nonetheless widely used by users.

I don't think above names have anything to do with phishing at all since for phishing one could easily just setup host "paypal.phisherdomain.com" (without any registration in whois), but that is not widely used and a lot more common are attempts at something like paypa1.com. -- William Leibzon Elan Networks [email protected]
