VeriSign’s Controversial Site Finder Service

The Controversy Over New Web Typo Site continues as ICANN issued an Advisory Concerning VeriSign’s Deployment of DNS Wildcard Service, requesting that pending the organization’s review and publication of a report, VeriSign suspend this service. In addition to ICANN’s action, last Friday Popular Enterprises, parent of search engine Nester.com, filed an unfair trade practices lawsuit in Florida, and domain registrar Go Daddy also filed a lawsuit the same day, in Arizona. VeriSign’s news release dated today maintains that Site Finder is a “useful tool” that “has been visited over 65 million times by Internet users” since its introduction on September 15.
