VeriSign DNS in Trouble

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."

    Hi, Im a secret fbi agent posting from my illegal linux box in The IRAQI desert. Saddum Hussain has just banned Linux because of the open source nature of the code. They dont want us to find out about their plans and theyve replaced all their linux boxen with properitry BSD boxen with propeitry file formats. If Im caught with this linux box it will mean an instant death pentalty, so im posting as Anonymous Coward through a chain of 20 Anonymous proxies with UA spoofing and FVWM95.

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

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

    You can the letter ICANN has sent to Verisign in full here. I know in the past that Verisign has done some bad things and it's cool on Slashdot to not trust them. But ICANN is the greater evil.

    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.
