Recently, I have been interacting with Aus-CERT pertaining to a few malicious domains hosted by Aust Domains. Since Aust-Domains is an Australian entity , it makes all the more sense to communicate with Aus-CERT .
However, the reply by Aus-CERT has stumped me and I was left wondering – If CERTs themselves are unable to tackle cyber-crime then who would?

Normally, .RU domain registrars are considered to be non-responsive to take-down requests by security researchers, however, RU domain registrars comply with the take-down request if it is sent via Group-IB.
Internet-BS, yet another hard to crack registrar, is also responsive to take-down requests , however the method used to achieve this task is a bit different.
From a researcher’s point of view, I would consider Aust-Domains to be a very difficult domain-registrar to work with.
