A WHOIS search on [www.todaysfutbol.com](http://www.todaysfutbol.com) lists GODADDY as the registrar, and a group called “Domains By Proxy” as the registrant. It was registered in January of 2009. WHOIS for “[www.mypremierfutbol.com](http://www.mypremierfutbol.com)” also lists Domains By Proxy. It was registered in December of 2008. A WHOIS on “[www.domainsbyproxy.com](http://www.domainsbyproxy.com)” gives the following information: > [@](#): > > Domains by Proxy, Inc. > [DomainsByProxy.com](http://DomainsByProxy.com) > 15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, PMB 353 > Scottsdale, Arizona 85260 > United States A quick look at the Domains By Proxy website reveals slogans such as, “Our contact information is made public in the WHOIS directory - not yours.” Also: “We protect your identity.” Not surprisingly, whatever group that created the sophisticated Stuxnet worm was clever enough to register the c&c domains anonymously. Domains By Proxy would presumably have a name and credit card information, but we live in a world where identities get stolen constantly and peoples dogs get credit card offers. Forging some information for a domain registration is well within the capabilities of a government intelligence agency. ---

**Commissar** – you do realize that the peaceful workers of Iran would throw you in prison, try you, & then behead you, for your political views, don’t you? 😃 ---

Indeed! And that totally proves that…that…actually, what, if anything, does that prove? ---

Too bad I left China as Siemens was one of my big clients and I would love to have a couple of beers and ask what they think. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/iranian-centrifuge-worm/562711.md?page=2)
