Delivered-To: dfarber+ () ux13 sp cs cmu edu Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2003 10:16:03 -0400 From: Richard Forno <rforno () infowarrior org> Subject: Article: Spinning SiteFinder To: Dave Farber <dave () farber net> Article: Spinning SiteFinder: FUD, brought to you by VeriSign Article Link: http://www.infowarrior.org/articles/2003-04.html This analysis looks at VeriSign's recent statements about SiteFinder, how the company is spinning the "service" in its public statements. The concluding paragraph - shown below - sums up my main thesis: "VeriSign's clumsy, unilateral attempt to hijack the DNS space through its SiteFinder wildcard service (and its goofy FUD-filled management statements since) proves that profiteering decisions can and do endanger the Internet more than any hacker or computer attack. It also proves once again that the Internet community ISPs, developers, engineers, and other experts -- can come together to effectively and quickly counter corporate, not just criminal, attacks on the network infrastructure - and we owe them our thanks."
