At the end of October, the .si Registry hosted the Marketing Section of the Association of European Registries – CENTR in Ljubljana
Trademarks, geographical indications and internet domains
Trademarks, geographical indications and internet domains are three separate rights, but due to their similar use on the internet, they are often interconnected and therefore easily confused. Trademarks and geographical indication designate the origin of the goods or services and the connection between these goods/services and a specific provider. A domain can also have the same function.
Studies on DNS Abuse – reality check or industry incentive?
In July 2022 the Interisle Consulting Group published their annual study on the prevalence of phishing attacks. Interisle, a private consulting firm consisting of industry experts, some of which have held positions at ICANN, analysed over three million phishing reports from 1 May 2021 to 30 April 2022 from multiple intelligence providers, but also took into account data from 2020 to create an biennial overview of phishing attacks – fraudulent practices of sending emails or setting up websites purporting to be from reputable companies in order to induce internet users to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers.

I joined Register.si at the end of 2020 when the COVID-19 epidemic was at its peak. Even though I have been employed at Arnes for more than 15 years, taking on new work tasks, getting to know new colleagues and adjusting to team dynamics felt challenging
My constant goal is: to manufacture something, to create something
Andrej Bagon, technical engineer at Registry .si
I have been interested in computer science since I was a child. We had a printing house at home and around ’85 the first computers started to appear in our office. If I remember correctly, my father was the first in our area to have a 286 – this meant Windows 3.0, CorelDraw 2.0 and a dot matrix printer. This caught my attention and it was in this way that I came across first text programming languages - Basic and Pascal.
Teamwork is key
I got into programming by accident. In fact, when I went to high school, I said I would never enroll in a college where there is a lot of math and physics. But it turned out quite differently.

“Things have to be done – there is no room for error here”
I am a mathematician by education. Before I started working at Arnes, I taught at the High School of Power Engineering in the early 1990s. But somehow it turned out that this was not a job where I would see myself in the long run.
