About emails impersonating Path Network

Have a feeling this will result in a privacy policy thats implemented in customer controlled switch's which is against having a central directory for free lookup's. And feel ambiguous to the current policy in place. Yeah you can certainly identify abusers that are performing queries that go beyond normal expectations but can you identify those that are a little pretentious and trying to protect a single org ?

Id be willing to come onboard to assist but I fear in this area I may be limited to impact. I feel its worth my time simply for the cause it causes too many ppl considerable time to react to financially and company posture.

Best Regards

Clone attacks are real, impersonation has been around since centuries and yes, its an attack vector but only impacting your customers. There is a vector you can pursue, its action by lawsuit. Would you rather pay the registration of the domain or would you rather pay the retainer costs of lawyers ...

The fact that there's a highway to Hell but only a stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
