Quad9 este un rezolvitor DNS recursiv public global care își propune să protejeze utilizatorii de programele malware și phishing. Quad9 este operat de Fundația Quad9, o organizație non-profit cu sediul în Zürich, Elveția, care are ca scop îmbunătățirea confidențialității și securității cibernetice a utilizatorilor de internet. Quad9 se supune legislației elvețiene privind confidențialitatea, iar guvernul elvețian extinde această protecție a legii la utilizatorii Quad9 din întreaga lume, indiferent de cetățenie sau de țara de reședință.[2]

Securitate și confidențialitate

modificare

Mai multe evaluări independente au arătat că Quad9 este extrem de eficient (aproximativ 97%) în blocarea domeniilor asociate cu malware și phishing.[3][4][5] În iunie 2021, Quad9 a raportat blocarea a peste 100 de milioane de infecții malware și atacuri de phishing pe zi.[6] Filtrarea malware-ului prin Quad9 este o opțiune selectabilă de către utilizatori. Domeniile care sunt filtrate nu sunt stabilite direct de Quad9, ci sunt furnizate de o varietate de analiști independenți de informații despre amenințări, utilizând metodologii diferite. Quad9 utilizează un sistem de evaluare a reputației pentru a agrega aceste surse și elimină domeniile „fals pozitive” din lista de filtre, dar nu adaugă direct domenii în lista de filtre.[3][7][8][9]

Quad9 a fost printre primele servicii care au utilizat criptografia puternică pentru a proteja confidențialitatea interogărilor DNS ale utilizatorilor și a fost, de asemenea, unul dintre primele servicii care au implementat validarea criptografică DNSSEC⁠(d) pentru a proteja utilizatorii de deturnarea numelui de domeniu.[10][11][12][13][14] Quad9 protejează confidențialitatea utilizatorilor prin faptul că nu reține sau prelucrează adresele IP ale acestora, conformându-se astfel Regulamentului General pentru Protecția Datelor (GDPR).[15][16][17]

Cazul juridic cu Sony Music

modificare

La 18 iunie 2021, Quad9 a fost notificată cu privire la un ordin judecătoresc emis de Tribunalul Districtual din Hamburg, prin care Sony Music a cerut Quad9 să blocheze rezoluția DNS a unui nume de domeniu utilizat de un site web care nu conținea materiale ce încălcau drepturile de autor, dar care conținea linkuri către alte site-uri ce le încalcă.[19] Acesta a fost primul caz în care industria deținătoare de drepturi de autor a încercat să oblige un operator DNS recursiv să blocheze accesul la nume de domenii de internet, stabilind un precedent potențial cu consecințe semnificative. Directorul general al Quad9, John Todd, a fost citat în presă afirmând: „Donatorii noștri ne sprijină pentru a proteja publicul de amenințările cibernetice, nu pentru a îmbogăți Sony” și a avertizat că, dacă acest precedent se confirmă, ar putea duce la acțiuni similare împotriva altor părți terțe neimplicate, cum ar fi programele antivirus, browserele web, sistemele de operare și firewall-urile. Expertul juridic Thomas Rickert de la asociația germană de internet, eco⁠(d), a comentat că „nu-mi pot imagina un furnizor care să fie mai puțin responsabil pentru domeniile ilegale decât un operator de rezolvitor DNS public.” Quad9 a anunțat imediat că va contesta interdicția și, pe 24 iunie, a confirmat că a angajat un avocat german pentru a depune o obiecție la interdicție.[20][21][9][22][23][24][25][26][27]

La 31 august 2021, Quad9 a depus o obiecție la ordinul de încetare, invocând o serie de deficiențe în argumentele juridice prezentate de Sony, bazându-se în principal pe faptul că furnizorii de servicii de internet (ISP-uri), care au relații de afaceri cu părțile care încalcă legea, sunt scutiți de răspunderea față de terți, chiar dacă operează, de asemenea, rezolvitoare recursive DNS. Quad9 a argumentat că este o interpretare greșită a legii să excludă rezolvitoarele recursive independente de această scutire.[28][29][30][31]

Pe 5 decembrie 2023, procesul a fost respins, iar Sony a fost obligată să plătească costurile litigiului. Deși instanța a pronunțat verdictul ca fiind definitiv, fără posibilitate de apel, Sony poate face apel la închiderea apelului printr-o plângere împotriva refuzului de acordare a permisiunii de apel, urmată de un apel la cauza în sine la Curtea Federală Germană.[32]

Serviciu

modificare

The court also seemed to accept Sony’s argument that Quad9 already blocks problematic websites (e.g. those that contain malware – viruses, spyware etc.), despite that being a very different consideration. Quad9’s General Manager, John Todd, said: 'Quad9 derives its threat intelligence from qualified experts on malware and phishing, not from the claims of parties without relevant expertise. We would be unable to maintain our 98% success rate in blocking cyber-threats if we accepted input based on self-interested claims, rather than on forensics and expert analysis.' we could imagine that many more Rights Holders may rush to make use of this for similar websites. Naturally, Quad9 intends to appeal and so the battle is not yet over.

It is a public DNS resolver with the additional benefit that it is accessible in a secure way. There are other public DNS resolvers, but the link to them is not secure. This allows hijackings as well as third-party monitoring. The new Quad9 service on the other hand is operated by the not-for-profit Packet Clearing House (PCH), which manages large parts of the DNS infrastructure, and it allows access to the DNS over TLS. This makes it very difficult for third parties to listen in. And it makes it possible to authenticate the resolver.

The court ruled that Quad9 must block the resolution of a domain name of a website in Ukraine that itself does not hold copyright-infringing material, but instead contains pointers to another website that is reported to hold alleged copyright infringements. Quad9’s interpretation of this ruling is that queries received from IP addresses that can be geolocated to Germany must generate a SERVFAIL response from Quad9’s recursive resolvers.

Sony Music has obtained an injunction that requires the freely available DNS-resolver Quad9 to block a popular pirate site. The order, issued by the District Court in Hamburg, Germany, is the first of its kind. The Quad9 foundation has already announced that it will protest the judgment, which could have far-reaching consequences. The Hamburg court found that the DNS service is not eligible for the liability protections that other third-party intermediaries such as ISPs and domain registrars typically enjoy. And if Quad9 fails to comply with the injunction, it will have to pay a fine of 250,000 euros per ‘infringing’ DNS query plus potentially two years in prison.

The DNS provider Quad9, which is now officially located in Switzerland, is held liable as a "Stoerer" (interferer) in this case, because the DNS resolution of the service enables copyright infringement. The "Stoererhaftung" (Breach of Duty of Care), its effects on copyright law, and any associated warnings against private individuals or even companies have been a point of contention in the law-making process of politics and the judiciary for decades. What is surprising about the current case is that Internet providers and registrars are actually exempt from "Stoererhaftung" (Breach of Duty of Care) under the so-called provider privilege. However, the Hamburg Regional Court apparently sees things differently.

The order was issued by the District Court in Hamburg, Germany. The Hamburg Court ruling finds that DNS resolvers like Quad9 are not eligible for liability protections like ISPs and domain registrars. If Quad9 fails to block the infringing site, it faces a fine of up to $298,356.00 (€250,000) per infringing DNS query it processes and a potential prison stint of up to two years.

Quad9 was notified last Friday that Sony Music had obtained an injunction against Quad9 in the lower court of Hamburg, Germany, seeking to block DNS resolution of domains used to host music content files on the grounds that such resolution contributes to infringement upon Sony’s copyrights. Quad9 has no relationship with any of the parties to the alleged infringement. Our systems resolve domain names, conveying public information on the public Internet, as any other recursive resolver would do, and there is no allegation that the domain names themselves, or any information that Quad9 has handled, infringe upon Sony’s copyrights. We have retained counsel, and we are in the process of filing an objection to the injunction.
