The Chinese company in charge of handing out domain names ending in “.top” has been given until mid-August 2024 to show that it has put in place systems for managing phishing reports and suspending abusive domains, or else forfeit its license to sell domains.

Seems like the problem is China, not really. top domains.

Chinese companies work according to mandates from the party a lot of the time, there’s less separation than in the US

In the US it tends to be the other way around 🥁

China has problems with organized crime, especially as it relates to phishing.
