ICANN testing law enforcement access to hidden WHOIS data

ICANN is testing a single sign-on system that would give law enforcement agencies access to non-public WHOIS registration data. The tool is intended for urgent cases involving imminent threats to life, critical infrastructure, or children, allowing vetted investigators to quickly obtain registrant details normally shielded from public view. Privacy advocates are likely to scrutinise the scheme over concerns about scope and oversight of who can query the data and under what safeguards.
Why now: The balance between rapid police access to domain registration data and privacy protections is contentious, drawing debate among security and privacy communities.
