Blocking domain won't stop spam, Google warned

 

Google's move to block malware by dumping ".co.cc" domains is a "short-term band-aid solution", according to one security firm.

Last week, Google blocked the entire .co.cc domain, saying its 11 million sites were predominantly malware and spam.

TrendMicro has warned that cyber criminals have already moved on from the .co.cc second-level domain (SLD), leaving real businesses on that address out of luck.
