Important note
Role of DENIC: As the registry for .de domains, we manage addresses, not website content.
We are therefore not the technical point of contact for abuse and cannot remove websites containing malware. However, we will be happy to refer you to the appropriate authorities.
Competent external reporting office
If you want to report a website containing malware or have been the victim of an attack, you should file a report with the police. You can often do this online.
