Canadian Company Focuses on Stopping Internet Virus

The non-profit organization that represents those who hold a .ca domain are trying to protect the reputation of the Canadian Internet Registration Authority by focusing on eliminating a virus that has disrupted its users. The virus is known as the Conficker worm or the Downandup worm. Stakeholders in this article are the CIRA, CIRA CEO Byron Holland, Internet groups, businesses that are led by Microsoft, Internet Security experts, computer and Internet users. "This is the first virus that's really focused on domain names as part of propagating the virus itself", "They'll try to create a smoke screen of many, many thousands of domains that are being communicated to amon which that single or very small limited number of command and control domains will be hidden" says Holland. The PR issue is an Education/Public Awareness campaign as well as a Reputation/Image campaign to regain the trust from the public and internet users who hold the .ca domain. The audience is everyone and every business who hold the .ca domain and people who use computers and internet with .ca addresses. I'm having trouble putting up the links but its on the cbc.ca news.
