> This analysis looks at VeriSign's recent statements about SiteFinder, how
> the company is spinning the "service" in its public statements. The
> concluding paragraph - shown below - sums up my main thesis:
>
> "VeriSign's clumsy, unilateral attempt to hijack the DNS space through its
> SiteFinder wildcard service (and its goofy FUD-filled management statements
> since) proves that profiteering decisions can ­ and do ­ endanger the
> Internet more than any hacker or computer attack. It also proves once again
> that the Internet community ­ ISPs, developers, engineers, and other experts
> -- can come together to effectively and quickly counter corporate, not just
> criminal, attacks on the network infrastructure - and we owe them our
> thanks."
