The ICANN Internet Corporation, which is responsible for the administration of domain zones on the Internet, today announced the start of an investigation procedure, which could turn into a major scandal for the corporation itself and would give killer arguments to the opponents of ICANN. The initiated internal investigation concerns a number of employees who are accused of cybersquatting - seizing domains for the purpose of resale at a high price. The names and positions of employees are not reported.
Moreover, insider employees didn’t limit themselves to simple cybersquattering, and using their official position, they tracked the statistics of domain name requests to find out popular lookup requests, in addition, employees collected information related to statistics on the use of domains in order to use these data for the sake of personal commercial gain.
ICANN suspects that these workers also collaborated with a number of domain registrars and transferred some private data to them. According to representatives of the Internet corporation, this became known from some registrar companies, who almost simultaneously reported that things were happening in the registration system that indicated the presence of “moles” in ICANN.

Today ICANN says that they do not yet have any evidence of insiderhood, but the investigation will still be as thorough and deep as possible so that all the shadows hanging over ICANN will disappear. A security and stability observatory committee was created to investigate, which will act in the same manner as the American exchange regulators when investigating a case of stock fraud.
ICANN confirmed that many employees have access to information that is restricted. Such information, in particular, includes data on requests for free and busy names, statistics for requests for a particular domain, full databases of domain owners and some other information.
ICANN also recognizes that it would not be superfluous to toughen the rules for using domain information within the corporation itself, as well as among registrars, since today the collection, analysis and use of this information is not limited and registrars are free to use this data freely.
Recall that just yesterday, the scandal struck another Internet giant, Verisign, which is responsible for registering the domain zone .com, which was accused of selling statistics for Lookup and Whois requests. The exact amounts for which the data was “merged” at the requests are unknown, however, according to the data of the DomainNameNews resource, the company could receive up to $ 1 million for each request. Later, information appeared that Verisign for a certain financial reward provided access to Root servers (main servers responsible for resolving Internet names) to various domain registrars.
