  1. Exploring some insights of the #DNS root servers, and I discovered this small bump of NOTIMP repsonse codes of a.root-servers.net, operated by #Verisign. I checked other server instances with public statistics, and also k.root-servers.net, operated by #RIPE observed an uptick in REFUSED responses at around that time.

    Does anyone have a clue what was going on last year shortly before the Christmas days?

  2. In January 2023, #Cloudflare replaced #Verisign in providing #DNS #registry services for the .gov #TLD. Besides the registry, they also run the authoritative #nameservers.

    Verisign ran it for 12 years, and cost the #US #government apparently just half as much as Cloudflare charges ($7.2M).

  3. #DigitalOcean outage on 28-Nov-2024 caused by, perhaps, an incompetent #NetworkSolutions person, followed by equally incompetent clueless #VeriSign executives, none of whom seemed to know how to order a fix to reverse a single mistake made by one person that lead to a major corporation bleeding revenue and reputation.

    It took hours and hours, and many VeriSign executives getting involved, just to remove a single erroneous clientHold on a single domain. Really? None of them had any idea which manager to call?

    Imagine if Network Solutions accidentally put a clientHold on your domain. You'd have to just kiss your domain goodbye because a lot of VeriSign executives will not be helping you.

    "DigitalOcean is working with Network Solutions to understand what happened on their end that resulted in the clientHold being applied to our domain incorrectly. In addition, we are reviewing other domain registrars as possible new homes for our domains."

  4. #ElizabethWarren Calls for Crackdown on Internet ‘Monopoly’ You've Never Heard of

    US senator Elizabeth Warren and congressman #JerryNadler have demanded the government investigate whether #VeriSign, steward of the .com domain, is ripping off customers and violating #antitrust laws.

  5. #Mailing lists are not only a great resource to stay in touch with latest #infosec news, but also to learn. I for instance wasn't aware that #verisign manages the root zones. To quote: " ICANN
    administers, Verisign implements and NTIA funds the effort."

  7. Whats the point of buying a domain name if in the end its not even your domain to begin with? If i buy an domain i wanna do the fuck i want on it, i did pay for it in the end.
