Facebook claimed twelve domain names registered by the Indian based company to be deceptive and misleading the users. A few such deceptive domains included facebook-verify-inc.com, instagramhjack.com and videocall-whatsapp.com. Facebook being prudent about protecting their domain name, filed an infringement suit in Virginia, America, against the proxy service provider. Being the Domain name owner of facebook.com, FB.com and a lot more,it has been extremely vigilant about infringements and has, at various instances, brought infringement suits against such online entities.
