Visit www.eurid.eu for webbased whois. Registrar Technical Contacts: Name: Klaba Octave Organisation: OVH Language: fr Phone: +33.899701761 Fax: +33.320200958 Email: support@xxxxxxx Registrar: Name: OVH Website: www.ovh.com/ All the google domains I checked, google.com, google.eu, google.co.uk, and chromium.org, which is referenced from The Register's article and contains the design papers, are registered through MarkMonitor Inc, and all say the registrant is Google so I smell a rat: if getchrome.eu was legit surely it to would be registered through MarkMonitor Inc. and the registrant would be named.
