You did not notice this on Tuesday???

Anyway, Bind Patch: http://www.isc.org/products/BIND/delegation-only.html

VeriSign's steps raise a couple of issues:

- Trademark Infringement -- If you enter some trademark.com address that hasn't been registered before you end up at VeriSign. Wouldn't that be trademark infringement?

- Email Spam: Normally before an email server accepts incoming mails it checks whether the sender's domain exist. Due to VeriSign now all domains exist hence this blockade is just utterly useless now.... However a few people have suggested if the domain resolves to 12.158.80.10 [ http://sitefinder.verisign.com ] that those emails then should be forwarded to all the contacts listed here: http://www.verisign.com/corporate/ab...act/index.html

- Security: As you know you can enter userID and pwd into the browser to login directly at some sites. What happens now if you mistype the domain? ---- You end up including the whole string in the VeriSign logs...

Even if they say they don't log those things I just don't believe that!
