Why scammers pay extra for .ai, and how the registry responds
· Summary of an article by Andrew Allemann, Domain Name Wire
Netcraft found the number of .ai domains on web servers grew from 913 in 2013 to 115,245, with a smaller rise in blocked .ai sites.
At about $60 a year, .ai is expensive for criminals, which suggests they pay for the extension's credibility. The registry now fines registrars that ignore abuse reports.
