You can probably blacklist that single domain for the time being as attack mitigation, but blacklisting any domain or TLD would make your Tier 2 no longer compatible with OpenNIC.

But this is the reason we keep bringing up removing .bit entirely, from what I can tell it seems to bring much more trouble than it's worth, but maybe that's the cost of a successful alt-TLD. Perhaps we should revisit the .bit removal discussion.

Look into rate limiting or ask for help on IRC if your server is under attack.

Hello,

My dedicated server provider (OVH.com) asked me, yesterday, to blacklist
the domain "letit2.bit" because it's a domain used by a malware
(https://malwarebreakdown.com/2017/06/06/relst-campaign-delivering-pony-downloads-chthonic/
)

After checking my logs from yesterday, this domain name has been
resolved more than 125,000 times in 24 hours.

Maybe we should blacklist this domain from an higher level than Tier2.
Or it's against the policy ?

Regards,

Arthur
