eNom's Inaction on Counterfeit Pharmacies Exposed by Security Report

The world's second-largest seller of website addresses knowingly helped groups that sell counterfeit pharmaceuticals to US residents in violation of federal laws, a research report alleges. The report to be published by security firm KnujOn accuses eNom of refusing to suspend the domain names of internet pharmacies known to have forged licences, according to the Financial Times.

While most registrars have locked out thousands of rogue pharmacies, eNom has demanded court orders before disconnecting any offending sites. These court orders are difficult to obtain.
