-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Via the F-Secure "news from the Lab" blog: [snip] Dear Domain Registrars, I know you are ion the business of registering domain names for people who need them. However, are you sure you want to allow people to register any domain name? Even when the name is obviously going to be used for phishing? Like, say, somebody trying to register a .com domain with the words "ebay" and "sign in" in it? Isn't it pretty obvious that something might be going on here? [snip] More: http://www.f-secure.com/weblog/#00001041 Hear, hear. This is an outrageous problem and should be properly addressed. Also, domain registrars need to STOP incentivizing their customers to practice "domain tasting" -- the practice is rife with abuse. - - ferg -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.5.1 (Build 1557) wj8DBQFFdbcYq1pz9mNUZTMRAhl0AKDByI+6aVJ7F3IcW9Q1fod3zhvt3ACgwE5+ ibU4rHbU8z12C+n1eAy5zgA= =EANi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
