Confidence is in short supply these days. The prospect of a lengthy recession has left just about everyone feeling nervous and insecure. Finance chiefs in particular are gloomier than ever, as indicated by CFO magazine's recent Business Outlook surveys, which found that nearly 90 percent don't anticipate a return to normal growth conditions until late 2009.
Yet, in spite of justified anxieties about the economy, CFOs generally remain an optimistic bunch. In fact, the typical CFO is too confident, according to Itzhak Ben-David of the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
The corporate Dr. No is really Dr. Yes in disguise? It's hard to imagine. Yet, in a new paper, Ben-David, along with John Graham and Campbell Harvey, professors at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business, suggest that, on average, CFOs are overconfident. Overconfident finance chiefs tend to use lower discount rates when valuing cash flows and assign higher values to projects. Their companies invest more, use more debt, and are less likely to pay dividends. Multitasking is a hallmark, too, as overconfident CFOs tend to take on many projects at once.
How do you locate the boundary between confidence — a necessary quality in every manager — and overconfidence? Ben-David and his colleagues did so by measuring bets on the stock market. The authors surveyed 7,000 CFOs over a six-year span, asking them to predict a range of 1- and 10-year returns of the S&P 500 index and divulge how certain they felt about their predictions. Although most of the CFOs felt very sure of themselves when selecting, they were correct just 38 percent of the time. The level of certainty that a CFO felt about his stock pick, and the frequency of his misjudgments, correlated to his level of confidence.
To overconfident CFOs, risky projects seem safer than they really are. "Overconfident managers underestimate risk and therefore take actions with excessive risk," write the professors. Of course, managers who take risks that succeed are rewarded, rising in the corporate hierarchy. "It's easier to climb the organizational ladder if you're confident," says Ben-David, who will join the Ohio State University Fisher College of Business in June.
Brimming with self-assurance, cocky CFOs often underestimate competitors and the wisdom of the market, says Ben-David. When making financing choices, they might incorrectly price the firm's securities, as they assume the market is undervaluing the company's worth. (This assumption also explains their penchant for repurchases.) Overconfidence can wreak havoc on mergers, too, as faith in synergies overshadows real obstacles. "When overconfident CFOs announce mergers, they usually have a negative market announcement return," Ben-David says.
Overconfidence Men?
Can a CFO's overconfidence lead to mischief? It's a slippery slope, according to Catherine Schrand and Sarah Zechman, of the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. In a new working paper, Schrand and Zechman define overconfidence as having "unrealistic positive beliefs" about an uncertain outcome. This bias, they say, is often revealed in financial reports where earnings have been managed. When that happens, outright fraud may be right behind.

Samsung dazzles phablet fans with more girth
Seoul, September 25, 2013
By Miyoung Kim
Samsung Electronics is seeking to dazzle followers of the phablet with bigger screens, and even possibly with a curved one, in its attempt to fence off a segment of smartphones once mocked for their girth and size.
Phablets, a cross between a phone and a tablet, have been on a roll since late 2011 as tech-savvy consumers, particularly in Asia, devote more time browsing data-heavy Web pages and downloading media content. Even Samsung's flagship Galaxy S4 smartphone, released in April this year, has a 5-inch screen that puts it squarely in the phablet category for some analysts.
On Wednesday, Samsung kicked off global sales of its latest Galaxy Note 3 smartphone in Seoul. The phablet, which boasts a 5.7-inch screen and costs $990 in South Korea without a carrier contract, is also now available in the Middle East with various carriers.
Analysts say the medium-term outlook for phablets is good, but price points and the lure of their smaller, more portable cousins will keep a lid on consumer enthusiasm.
Canalys expects smartphones with 5.1-6 inch screens to make up 6 percent of the market in 2013. The Singapore-based research firm is estimating overall global shipments of 993 million smartphones this year.
"We're certainly seeing a shift for large-screen phones, but the vast majority of volumes are sub-5-inch - over 90 percent," said Rachel Lashford, an analyst at Canalys. "We would need to see devices at lower price points and from a much wider range of vendors, including Apple, to go beyond these forecasts."
The growing popularity of phablets has galvanised Western names into action.
Google's Motorola unit recently launched a 5-inch Droid Ultra, and even Apple, which has stuck to a 3.5-inch form factor for its iPhone since 2007 debut, is also exploring offering iPhones with larger screens, four people with knowledge of the matter said previously.
Nokia had originally planned to launch a large-screen phablet in late September.
"Samsung has been the leader in this trend, helped by its ability to create and drive the segment through significant advertising and marketing," Lashford said.
Driving the phablet's shift to the mainstream is a confluence of trends. Users prefer larger screens because they are consuming more visual content on mobile devices than before, and using them less for voice calls - the phablet's weak spot.
"When we first introduced the Note in 2011, a lot of people made a mockery of it and some even said it was doomed to fail," Lee Young-hee, executive vice president of mobile marketing at Samsung, recently told reporters.
"But we noticed that people were carrying more than three devices on average such as phones, music players and gaming machines, and we thought people may want just one device that can do it all."
Samsung says phablets are largely popular in markets such as China, South Korea, Europe and Southeast Asia.
To increase the appeal of its phablet devices, the company has introduced accessories such as the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
The device allows users to make calls, displays messages, records videos and snaps photos, all while the user's phone stays in the pocket or handbag.
Samsung is now planning to introduce a smartphone with a curved display next month, potentially another variant of the Note 3.
The Note has since grown in stature every year since its first-generation 5.3-inch screen. The Note 3's screen is nearly two-thirds bigger than Apple's 3.5-inch iPhone, and manufacturers are increasingly adopting immense screens dangerously close to tablet territory.
Huawei's Ascend Mate has an even bigger 6.1-inch screen, and Sony's Xperia Z Ultra boasts a 6.4-inch screen, making it only less than an inch smaller than Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet. Samsung's Galaxy Mega has a 6.3-inch screen.
Samsung's domestic rival LG Electronics is planning to launch its 5.2-inch Vu 3 on Friday. - Reuters

With the public defender contracts set to expire by the end of the year, attorney Mark Leeman is proposing the creation of a public defender board that he says will be more cost-effective and provide more attorneys to the courts.
Speaking in front of County Commissioners Dave Arnold and Jim Sailors, as well as the three sitting Cass County judges, Leeman outlined a plan where six full-time and two part-time attorneys would manage the public defender caseload and the county would be reimbursed 40 percent of the money for the cases, if the attorneys met state requirements.
The option is one of two proposals to be considered by the commissioners. Attorney Sheryl Pherson, a current public defender, said at the meeting that she had submitted the other proposal, but she and the commissioners declined to elaborate on its contents.
Under state regulations, the different levels of felonies and misdemeanors would be divided among the defenders and each defender would be assigned a specific amount of cases each year. Leeman studied the Cass County court cases from 2011 to decide on the number assigned to each attorney.
For capital cases, felonies and the majority of juvenile cases, the state public defense fund would offer a 40 percent reimbursement.
"Right now, Cass County is leaving money on the table," Leeman said.
The court currently has individual contracts for four public defenders with one attorney, Robert Murray, doing the work of two defenders. In an interview last week, Cass Superior II Judge Rick Maughmer said the "overwhelming" caseload had been a problem for four public defenders, especially in large cases where multiple suspects are arrested at the same time. To avoid conflicts of interest in the large cases, Maughmer said, each defendant has to have a different attorney, which can amount to more than the four public defenders and thus cause the courts to contract out to other attorneys.
"We need more so we can deal with the conflicts," Maughmer said.
At a previous commissioners meeting, Maughmer reported that the court had gone over its $335,000 budget for public defenders in 2011, spending more than $410,000. The extra $75,000 came from a supplemental public defender fund, he said.
Because of the conflicts and the drain on the funds, judges and commissioners called for a cost-effective plan that would provide the courts with at least six attorneys.
Leeman said that his plan proposes an overall budget of $518,000, but with the estimated 40 percent reimbursement, the county would end up spending less than the $435,000 now budgeted for 2013.
"Basically with the budget you have now, you can get more attorneys structured in a way that I think is more convenient for the judges and spend less money than you're doing right now," Leeman told the commissioners.
The attorneys would be appointed by a three-person board, which would be responsible for making sure the attorneys stayed within state regulations, Leeman said. Two of the board members would be selected by the judges and one would be selected by the commissioners.
Dave Arnold, president of the board of commissioners, said his biggest concern would be regulating the caseload.
"Sometimes, boards get away from things at hand," Arnold said.
Maughmer countered that the fail safe would be the fact that the commissioners could disband the public defender board in 90 days and change to another system.
Neal added that because of the board's evaluation system, Cass County would be almost guaranteed to receive the 40 percent reimbursement the first year.
"It takes a lot to get kicked out of the program," Neal added.
Though Maughmer said he was against such a board during his 18 years as prosecutor, he has now changed his view.
"My perspective has changed dramatically," he said.
Arnold said the commissioners would have to make a decision between the two proposals in the next two weeks.
"The three of us have got to make a decision," Arnold said.

New Guns N' Roses track online!
A high quality version of a new Guns N' Roses song has been leaked on to the internet. Guitarist Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal claims that the track, which the band premiered at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, was in fact not the album version but an old demo, dispelling rumours that it was a fake.
The track is due to be on the new Guns N' Roses album 'Chinese Democracy' which was due for release a decade ago, but is tentatively expected any day now.
The band are due to appear this summer in Japan, South Africa, Thailand, Mexico and Australia.

Recipe by Chef Karen Calabro
"One of our town's ancient citizens, Mabel Hill, passed away recently, but thanks to her grandniece, I was able to obtain her famous 'Kahlua®' recipe. For over 70 years, Hollis, New Hampshire people have been enjoying this holiday beverage! There is a scant amount more than the 5 pints, which I save for baking or to throw in my cocktail while making it."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 cups boiling water
4 cups white sugar
2 cups vodka
2/3 cup instant coffee powder
3 tablespoons vanilla extract
My daughter and I wanted to try something different for a gift so when we came across this recipe we just had to try it. The ingredients were simple and the recipe was very easy to follow. We halved the recipe and it turned out amazing! We will definitely be making this again.
Made this for an 80 yr old great-aunt for Christmas, she called the end of January for a refill because she had 'sucked it all up'. For those who cannot have caffeine in the evening; use decaf instant coffee, you cannot taste the difference.

Simple and wonderful! I halved the recipe and used vanilla flavored vodka. Would make an amazing gift!

"There is no such thing as legitimate rape," said state Rep. Roger Goodman

Washington lawmakers have introduced legislation to remove the spousal exemption from rape in the third degree, in which no physical force is used but consent is not given. Washington removed the marital exemption for first- and second-degree rape in 1983, but the current law forced prosecutors to pursue lesser, misdemeanor assault charges against spouses in cases that would have otherwise been prosecuted as third-degree rape.
As the Associated Press reports, Washington state remains one of a handful of states where marriage is an absolute defense against allegations of third-degree rape.
In defending the bill, state Rep. Roger Goodman D-Kirkland, borrowed a phrase from Todd Akin — and turned it on its head. "There is no such thing as legitimate rape," he said. "We have to get rid of this marital rape exception and catch up with the rest of the country."
The first marital rape conviction did not occur in the United States until the late 1970s, reflecting long-held beliefs that only rape committed by a stranger constituted "legitimate rape" and that forced sex within marriage was a wife's duty. But with growing awareness and an evolving legal code, successful prosecution of marital and acquaintance rape is becoming more common.
"Prosecutors have historically been more comfortable pursuing stranger rape, but that is changing by leaps and bounds," Laura X, director of the National Clearinghouse on Marital and Date Rape, told the New York Times in a piece on changing rape laws. "Very serious criminal charges are now routinely filed in cases involving acquaintance rape. The whole atmosphere has changed, as more people come to understand that 'no' means 'no.'"
The bill is expected to pass in the Legislature, and Rep. Goodman is optimistic that Gov. Jay Inslee will sign it into law.
"I will do everything I can to make sure that we get rid of the marital rape exception in Washington," Goodman said.

Comments by dusk
I think He will be bonnie's new love interest. Fans wanted her with a bad guy,she didn't want to pair her with klaus or kol. But she can pair her with this bad guy cause you know bonnie is black,connor is black this match made in heaven -.- (julie plec's logic works this way) careful julie, your bias is showing
She throws a bone to bonnie fans but It's too little too late. KW said bonnie will be "front and center" in season 3,it won't be Elena Gilbert disrupting Stefan Salvatore and Klaus's bromance but rather Bonnie. She reportedly will get caught up in their web of terror and destruction.Lies,lies,lies.I'm sorry miss plec but I will believe when I see it.
she didn't give her a character development, she didn't give her a decent love interest she just used her as a plot device even rebekah had more screen time than her and she is not a main character. WOW now she gives her a dad, we should be happy It only took 4 years! And she should stop using caroline as a triangle material,I know she live her own fantasies through this character but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

The Prestwood boys bring effort to John Milledge Academy's Trojan Center.
Freshman Andrew Prestwood and his junior brother Amos are contributing pieces to the 13-win JMA boys' basketball team.
The freshman has a knack for scoring. His 25-point night against Pinewood earned Prestwood his second Athlete of the Week honor.
JMA head basketball coach Thomas Craig said it's easy to forget that Prestwood is a ninth-grader.
"He's a very vocal kid, and Andrew knows he has to lead by example," the Trojan coach said. "He's doing a good job of that."
At this point of the season, the talented Trojan has more than 400 points averaging just more than 17 points-per-game.
"I still don't think he is shooting enough," Craig joked.
Opposing defenses know the name by now. Prestwood deals with more defensive pressure nightly.
Even on a slow day, the Athlete of the Week isn't scared of the big shot.
Craig said he's probably never coached a young kid that believed this much.
"The kid's court awareness and basketball IQ is out of the roof for a ninth-grader," he said. "Sometimes I think he's a junior or a senior out there."
In JMA's most recent game as of presstime, Prestwood turned on the scoring when needed.
The Trojans defeated Bulloch by five points in Tuesday's GISA 4-AAA Region Tournament opener.
The freshman was dry in the second quarter but stayed with the process.
He was 10-of-10 from the free-throw line and "knocked down some huge shots" in a 22-point effort.
Prestwood leads a quality underclassmen varsity basketball group.
Craig said each game they seem to be learning how to win consistently, doing the little things that turn a result one way or the other.
"We are getting better game by game," the coach said. "(Prestwood) is as well. I'm pleased with where we are."

Domestic soccer treble? Odds say "unlikely," but Real Salt Lake has the chance at something very special
Sep 30, 2013, 8:40 PM EDT
I have known some members of Real Salt Lake's management for years, going back to their earliest playing days – and they will absolutely hate me for what I am about to do. Then again, this is what journalists and content providers do … stir the pot, whether it needs a stirring or not. So here goes:
Real Salt Lake has a chance – not a great one, but not a terrible one, either – to pull off something unprecedented in domestic soccer. And something quite special.
With Saturday's improbable victory in Vancouver, where a squad 100 percent stocked with reservists went into BC Place and left with all three points, Real Salt Lake remains in contention for Supporters Shield. Seattle has games in hand, but the Sounders' schedule ahead is far tougher than RSL's remaining schedule. (Of course, teams in the East have something to say about this, too.)
Real Salt Lake has done enough to be considered an MLS Cup threat. And the men of Rio Tinto Stadium (pictured) will be heavily favored for Tuesday's final in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup competition.
So … a U.S. Soccer professional soccer Treble? That is, U.S. Open Cup winner, Supporters Shield winner and MLS Cup winner from the same address in the same season?
Again, all kinds of things can go wrong here; history speaks to the difficulty of accomplishing such a thing. That is to say, it's never been done.
Some quality clubs have checked off two of the three over the years. Six teams, in fact, have captured Supporters Shield and MLS Cup in the same season, the 2011 LA Galaxy being the most recent "Double" winners. (The list of Supporters Shield winners is here.)
Three teams have claimed MLS Cup and the U.S. Open Cup in the same year. But none have gone the full distance, so to speak, also capturing Supporters Shield in that same season. (The list of U.S. Open Cup winners is here; the list of MLS Cup winners is here.)
So this is just a heads-up: Odds say RSL walking with all this is highly unlikely, especially considering how many young hands remain on deck for Kreis' team. Still, it's worth noting that such a chance even exists.
The first check on the box has to come tomorrow from Rio Tinto.

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- San Jose police are investigating after a man was fatally struck by a hit-and-run driver. It happened late Sunday afternoon at The Woods Drive and Snell Ave. near Capitol Expressway.
It appears that a man was run over by a car in the middle of the street on Snell Ave. Investigators are busy trying to collect as much evidence as they can.
Police say that at about 3 p.m. the victim, presumably a pedestrian in his 30s, got into a fight with a motorist. They say the fight ended when the driver got back in his car and hit the man before driving away.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and performed CPR, but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators are looking into whether the victim was stabbed during the fight before being run over by the car.
Police are interviewing several witnesses. But at this point, it's unclear what started the fight.
"Officers responded and based on witness statements, there was a physical altercation in the middle of the roadway," Lt. Eduardo Pedreira said. "And that's all we have. We don't know what started it, what precipitated the fight. All we know is it ended up here on Snell."
The suspect is still at large.
The San Jose Police Department is continuing to investigate the fatal collision and anyone with information regarding the incident is urged to contact police at (408) 277-8900.

Maori Party co-leader Dr Pita Sharples spent more than $500 a day being driven around the country last year.
The latest round of MP expenses shows that in the last three months of 2012, MPs claimed more than $2.6 million in travel, accommodation and other expenses, including more than $1m spent by the 28 Government ministers.
Controversial NZ First MP Richard Prosser was one of the country's top-spending parliamentarians, claiming $23,673.
The Canterbury MP, who sparked outrage by calling for Muslim men to be banned from flying on Western airlines, spent $13,757 on flights.
Prosser said the inspiration for his words came after his Swiss army knife was taken off him during a security check at Christchurch Airport.
While the $67,698 claimed by Sharples at the end of 2012 was not the most expensive (Prime Minister John Key claimed $78,784), his spending was almost as much as Trade Minister Tim Groser and Foreign Minister Murray McCully combined.
Tariana Turia had the third-biggest claim at the end of 2012, of $49,342.
In two quarters last year, Sharples outspent Key, while in the other two quarters he was second.
Throughout 2012, Sharples claimed $295,772 in expenses, on top of his salary as a minister outside Cabinet of $217,200.
In a statement Sharples said he was a "hardworking minister" who travelled throughout the country to visit Maori.
"Some of these places are off the beaten track, and take hours of travel by car, but it is important that we do see people kanohi ki te kanohi [face to face], and continue to work towards engaging Maori communities."
Turia said the level of spending reflected the challenges.
"I think all it shows is that the Maori Party ministers work extremely hard, we're very busy, we're around the country constantly so that [level of spending] wouldn't be unusual."
Figures cover the three months to December 31.
Key's claim includes no Wellington accommodation.

Winfield woman was involved in mortgage fraud, gets 5 years probation
By Chuck Biedka
Published: Wednesday, Dec. 15, 2010
A former bank manager from Winfield has been sentenced to five years of probation including six months of house arrest for wire fraud.
Crystal Spreng, 40, of 329 Stoney Hollow Road, Cabot, was sentenced in federal court Tuesday by Judge Nora Barry Fischer.
U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton said Spreng was involved with mortgage fraud while she was a manager of a Citizens Bank branch in the Bloomfield section of Pittsburgh and elsewhere.
The conspiracy happened from February 2005 to December 2007. Spreng was indicted in June 2009.
Assistant United States Attorney Brendan T. Conway said Spreng "provided false documents to mortgage lenders representing that borrowers had bank account balances at Citizens Bank consistent with representations made to the lenders in fraudulent loan applications."
Spreng's actions verified the information that lenders used decide to lend money.
The false documents included the names of some porported borrowers who didn't have accounts at Citizens Bank. Others had accounts but far less money in their accounts than the false balances given to the lenders.
Spreng was initially charged with nine counts involving more than $536,000 in wire transfers for properties in Verona, Pittsburgh, Ambridge and West Mifflin.
She pleaded guilty to a single count involving one wire transfer involving $81,000 for a property in Penn Hills.
Conway said Spreng accepted responsibility for the other counts. She wasn't found not guilty of them, he said.
Spreng wasn't ordered to pay restitution because the government couldn't clearly identify all of the victims. If that were possible, she would have been ordered to pay restitution, he said.
During her house arrest, Spreng will be allowed to work in a restaurant in Harrison, court records show.
According to records, three others were charged with wire fraud conspiracy: Daniel Hoey, 43, of Sewickley; Robert Arakelian, 47, of Pittsburgh's Friendship neighborhood; and Robert J. McCully III, 37, of the 500 block of South Avenue, Verona.
In July, McCully was sentenced to 18 months in prison followed by three years of probation.
Hoey and Arakelian have pleaded guilty and are scheduled to be sentenced.
Who to call if fraud suspected
Mortgage industry employees with knowledge of fraudulent activity are encouraged to call the Mortgage Fraud Task Force at 412- 894-7550. Consumers are encouraged to report suspected mortgage fraud by calling the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Consumer Protection Hotline at 800- 441-2555.

In the wake of last week's layoffs, fans are no doubt wondering which of their favorite Sony Online Entertainment MMOs will be feeling a possible staffing pinch. The company's venerable EverQuest title is apparently safe -- and none the worse for wear -- according to a letter by producer Thom Terrazas that was posted last night on the game's official forums.
Not only will EQ business continue as usual, but the original incarnation of Norrath will be receiving even more content than it has in the past. "We're going to bring you high-level and enjoyable content throughout the year, even more than we have in past years," Terrazas explained, before mentioning the dev team's plans for more frequent seasonal events and the desire to "beef up the gameplay experience" during the spring and summer months.

Alliance Group plans to increase exports to the Middle East.
The company has just completed its first year exporting directly to Iraq, supplying Pure South lamb to hotels, restaurants and catering companies.
Group general marketing manager Murray Brown said yesterday Alliance provided more than 1000 tonnes of red meat to the Middle Eastern country this year.
They hoped to increase their presence in the Iraq market by introducing a wider product range, and doing more promotional work.
"It's about getting the consumer aware of the brand and quality of the product, not only in the food service industry, but getting into retail as well," Mr Brown said.
"It's an area we think there is room for growth."
Mr Brown said because Iraq still did not have marketing structures like supermarket chains or malls, Alliance Group was also looking at getting into the market in Kurdistan, in the north of Iraq, where disposable incomes were higher.
"We see Iraq as a land of opportunity and the outlook is extremely promising given how central and important meat is across all the different ethnic and religious groups in the country," he said.
Alliance will focus on Iraq's major business cities including Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Erbil and Sulaymania, as well as the holy cities of Karbala, Najaf and Samara.
"Iraq is a promising market and we are establishing ourselves as the leader in the country's red meat sector," Mr Brown said.

Latest news
Dubbed Mirage after the highly persistent Remote Access Tool installed on the targeted machines, the campaign predictably starts with spear-phishing emails aimed at mid-level to senior-level executives. Once the recipients download and run the attachment, they are saddled with the Mirage RAT.
"CTU researchers have identified several files that drop and execute a copy of Mirage onto a target system," says researcher Silas Cutler. "These 'droppers' are designed to look and behave like PDF documents. However, the droppers are stand-alone executable files that open an embedded PDF file and execute the Mirage trojan.
"In one example, CTU researchers observed an executable file that upon execution drops a copy of Mirage and opens an embedded PDF of a news story titled 'Yemeni Women can participate in politics just like men, says President Saleh' that was posted on the Yemen Observer's website.
The attacks have so far been aimed at an oil company in the Phillipines, a military organization in Taiwan, an energy company in Canada, and several as yet unidentified entities in Brazil, Israel, Egypt and Nigeria.
The researchers have analyzed a variety of Mirage variants used in the attacks, and have discovered that some of them had unique attributes not designed for widespread targeting, i.e. that they were custom-made to target specific systems.
Having traced some of the IP addresses connected to the attacks back to a subnet of the Beijing province network, the researchers believe that the attackers are operating from China.
"Traditionally, the success of botnets created by threat actor groups has been measured by the quantity of infected systems and the difficulty to defend against in the long term. These targeted attacks show that a successful campaign requires only small quantity of infected systems to accomplish the attackers' objectives and to yield extremely powerful results," say the researchers.
"For companies in the targeted industries, it is important to have a strong perimeter security line in place. Using active intrusion detection and prevention systems as well as DNS monitoring for malicious domains is essential to detecting this activity."
