Paul and all,
Seems as though NSI half believes that ICANN may be the
actual culprit itself...
Excerpt from news.com article cited below:
"It was a hack. We're investigating it, and the FBI is involved,"
NSI spokesman Brian
O'Shaughnessy said. "The FBI
told us that they are on their way
to the ICANN's building in
Southern California now to secure
the servers because there could
have been a hack on their end."
What is even mor pathetic is that ICANN was not avalible for comment.
Dam that is pretty sad! And even mor pathetic yet is that neither NSI
or ICANN know how to prevent such a hack! Sheeeesh!
