We had a 30% increase in new registrations in February
This has now subsided to previous levels but there was no real increase in
frauds.
We don't get many 5 year registrations.
Most 10 year ones are frauds, but we do have two real customers who register
all their names for
10 years.
We routinely block Ip addresses from certain countries.
