"ICANN up in arms at Verisign DNS hijacking"

Also see the Internet Architechture Board writeup here:

"The IAB feels that the system VeriSign had deployed for .com and .net
contains significant DNS protocol errors, risks the further development
of secure DNS, and confuses the resolution mechanisms of the DNS with
application-based search systems."
