We have a number of interesting results, but perhaps the most striking is that although phishing websites impersonating banks are generally removed in a couple of hours, the mean lifetime for a website hosting child abuse images is almost a month and even the median (the time by which half of the sites are removed) is 12 days.
Das liegt nicht daran, dass die ISPs so lahmarschig sind, sondern dass die Kinderporno-Strafverfolger zu inkompetent sind, über Ländergrenzen hinaus einfach mal einen abuse-Report an den ISP zu schreiben. Stattdessen verwaltet man lieber seine nationalen Filterlisten, und wenn es hoch kommt gibt man eine Meldung über die internationale Polizei-Bürokratie weiter.Besides this issue, we have a number of other interesting results in the paper (so do read it!) For example we looked at “mule recruitment websites” — with job adverts for payment processors who will be conned into handling the proceeds of phishing scams in the belief that they’re handling payments for legitimate companies. These sites are only taken down by volunteer (amateur) efforts — since they don’t attack any particular bank, but the whole industry, no particular bank is prepared to put in any effort to remove them. Unsurprisingly, their average lifetime is 13 days (mean 8 days) — far longer than the phishing websites — which is not good news for gullible consumers.
