What do you think about this poll? Let us know THE MISSING LINK And the dishonor goes to VeriSign Britain's Net industry has named its villain of the year. The winning loser? Envelope, please -- it's VeriSign! Why does the master of Internet domains get such a dubious honor? The Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) cursed the company with this award because of VeriSign's practice of hijacking users who mistype Web site names and redirecting them to a VeriSign site, where they can buy the domain that they didn't mean to type in the first place. VeriSign basically tried to sell typos! The company has since stopped. ISPA's favorite good guy? The Spamhaus Project's Steve Linford, for his tireless work as a spam killer.
