COVID-19 in Oracle : 抢注和 COVID 有关的400个域名

前几天写过一篇文章，提到 COVID-19 in Oracle : ORA-600 2252 来自数据库内部的传染性

而事实上，早有媒体报道 Oracle 和 COVID-19 的关联互动：全球第二大企业级软件公司—甲骨文公司对 COVID-19相关域名进行了大批量注册，注册数量多达400多个。

据外媒报道，甲骨文公司在2020年3月19日至20日之间，共注册了超过400多个新冠病毒相关域名。其中包括c19oracle.com、cco19oracle.com、civid19oracle.com、co19odacle.com等域名，这些域名同时包含了新冠病毒的缩写和甲骨文公司的企业名字。

通过 whois 可以清楚的看到这些域名为 Oracle 公司所有：

不过，另一枚与甲骨文公司紧密联系的域名COVID19Oracle.com似乎并不在甲骨文名下，这枚域名在今年3月9日注册，目前跳转的是一款APP的邀请链接，域名为discordapp.com。

甲骨文公司一举注册400多个相关域名颇让人费解。因为，如果不是发布新产品或者推出新品牌，这种大批量对域名进行保护的行为可谓闻所未闻。

现在看来，Oracle 注册这些域名可能与其推出的 Covid-19 公共服务数据库有关。
