Just want to note, that domainnames themself cant be
dangerous (of course using a similar name could cos
problems with trademarks and the like).

Its only the content thats dangerous, eMail or webpage.
So its more a problem of the people running the services
and these are either hacked sites or ISPs tolerating
or deliberatly hosting this content.

Asking a TLD registry to remove domainnames because
of pishing its then somehow to wrong place to start,
specially for Spamhaus, they should know better and
simply place all those IPs on their lists ...


BTW:
just found the service "Google Safe Browsing Alerts
for Network Administrators" where every AS owner can
register under
http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/alerts/
to receive notification about doubtful content
Google might find, when spidering your network.

This could be pretty usefull to remove pishing
and hacked sites for pretty quick.
