There are now at least 70 domain names registered relating to the explosions at the Boston Marathon today and most troubling many that look like charitable domains to be used to raise money for the victims.
We noted just minutes after the reports of the explosions hit the news domain name related to the bombings were already registered and some parked by people looking to make money off the tragedy. While we don’t know every registrants intention, we do know historically that many of the domain names registered immediately after were done to get traffic and make money parking domains or worse.
While many of the domains were registered under privacy some of the registrants were brave enough (orstupid enough) to put their name as the registrant of these domains.
Even several “relief” domain was registered, which is especially troubling unless it was registered by a recognized charity.
As the editor of TheDomains and as a domainer personally I hate to see these type of registrations, so here the registrant information for some of the domain names that don’t have privacy on the registrations.
Bostonexplosion.com and bostonexplosions.com are registered to FusionWorks LLC of Saratoga, the domain name bostonmarathonbomb.com who is registered to a Mr. Myers of Queen Anne, MD, bostonmarathonbombs.com is registered to Web Service Resource Associates inc of merritt island, Florida.
