[Techtalk] Verisign wildcard DNS hijacks .net and .com for advertising purposes

[Tracey Grrl Geek]

Found some more information...

"ICANN up in arms at Verisign DNS hijacking"
http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=11569

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."
