Re: Yahoo! -- A "Phisher-friendly" hosting domain?

PAYPAL.COM.SV04.COM
PAYPAL.COM.LIMITSPEED.NET
PAYPAL.COM
While I agree in concept that this is not how the internet runs, and I am
not proposing a domain name police force be instituted, it seems to me
that things like this are easily caught. Not to mention, the purpose of
them is clear.

But it caught my eye that SOMEBODY at Yahoo! ought to be reviewing
domain names like "bankofthewestupdate.com"
Registrars should as well, but this is not the way the Internet works.
Sometimes, this is a good thing, sometimes, it's not.
It seems that the A RR has been pulled around 2005-08-30 21:00 UTC, so
this particular issue has already been resolved.
