F-Secure Calls for '.safe' TLD

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the internet-laughs-at-f-secure dept.

Rajesh writes "According to F-Secure, ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), the organization responsible for the global coordination of the Internet's system of unique identifiers, should introduce a .safe domain name to be used by registered banks and other financial organizations."

    Exactly, how many people would pay for an .unsafe tld?

    So once 95% of all websites decide that they want to be safe, how do organise the namespace? How about .com.safe, .gov.safe, .net.safe....

    Then all we do is turn off the .unsafe domain and we're done!

    Agreed. We should also create a .terror domain--it'd help make tracking down those evil evil terra-ists that much easier...
