VeriSign DNS in Trouble

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the thats-so-terrible-for-them dept.

hesiod writes "Over at CNet News, there is an article reporting that VeriSign may lose their ability to sell domains. Evidently, ICANN is miffed because VS's WHOIS database has incorrect information. Not exactly news to most of us, but they have been given 15 days to fix the errors, or risk losing the ability to sell domains."

    Pay for my P.O. Box and I'll update my contact information. I'm not giving people my home address.

    Whoever modded that up as funny needs to be dragged out and beaten.

    Those lame ass jokes haven't been funny in years.

    Someone stole my identity two years ago and bought $1000 worth of services from Verisign.

    Wow. What did it feel like to not have an identity?

    They claim I can't remove it, because I told them I didn't enter it in the first place.

    Sounds like a legitimate reason to me.
