Nothing is ever done to stop them and I doubt authorities here can or will do anything about it because as you know just about every product we use in North America comes from China. (smallwares)

The solutions are really fairly simple but that would mean ICAAN would have to take action and we all know that will never happen! These scammers and spammers are all buying their domains from an ICAAN approved outfit. You and anyone else can easily trace domains back to a Chinese acredited register of domains. ICAAN has had thousands and thousands of complaints about this register but does not act.

Choose and use a password manager please (and tell your friends to do the same).

All twitter needs to do is to add a line of code on the DM form page that checks for blacklisted words, urls, etc. in the message.

For example, if the message trying to be sent includes “access-logins.com” either:

A. Don’t send the message at all and alert the user that the message contained malicious content.

OR

B. Send the message but strip the string and replace it with “malicious content removed.”

*They can also continue to add blacklisted words and urls to this filter over time.
