Syrian Computer Society
The Syrian Computer Society is an organization in Syria. It was founded by Bassel al-Assad in 1989, and was subsequently headed by his brother Bashar al-Assad,[1] who would later become the President of Syria. It acts as Syria's domain name registration authority and has been reported to be closely associated with the Syrian state.[2]
In May 2013, 700 domains registered by Syrians, mostly hosted at servers with IP addresses assigned to the Syrian Computer Society,[3] were reported to have been seized by the U.S. DNS infrastructure operator Network Solutions.[2] The domain names were marked as "OFAC Holding", believed to be a reference to the U.S. federal government's Office of Foreign Assets Control.[3]
