Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Tue, 07 Oct 2003 10:16:03 -0400 From: Richard Forno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Article: Spinning SiteFinder To: Dave Farber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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."
