[gnso-thickwhoispdp-wg] DNS attack and our topic

[Don Blumenthal <dblumenthal@xxxxxxx>]

There has been a lot of chatter on anti abuse and security lists today about a 
major DNS hijack at Network Solutions yesterday that affected some significant 
brands. LinkedIn, USPS, CarMax, and Mazda are among them. This article is the 
first good description that I have seen.

If it had to occur, I wish that it had come before we finished drafting. One 
post on the hack, from someone that I respect very much, said that it could not 
have happened if .com were thick. I urged him to submit a comment when our 
document goes up.

FWIW,
