VeriSign Now Faces Class Action Suit Over Redirection
The furor over VeriSign Inc.’s redirect service for mistyped or unregistered Web domains isn’t about to die down as the body overseeing Web addressing begins taking public comments on the issue and a third lawsuit attacks the service.
A committee of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) this week began taking public comments about the effect of VeriSign’s SiteFinder service on the Internet in preparation for a public meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. The Security and Stability Advisory Committee, which last week issued an advisory blaming the service for weakening the Internet’s stability, plans to issue another report to guide ICANN about SiteFinder after examining issues that will be raised at the meeting, ICANN announced.
