VeriSign, the administrator of the .com and .net domains, made plans to shut down its new Site Finder service Friday, after the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ordered the company to undo controversial changes.
The nonprofit organisation with the task of overseeing the core function of the Internet said on Friday that it was "disappointed" by a lawsuit filed by VeriSign, which operates the master database for .com and .net.
A nonprofit organisation tasked with overseeing Internet addresses and domain names has taken the first step in responding to an antitrust and breach of contract lawsuit that VeriSign filed in February.
VeriSign will give a 30- to 60-day notice before resuming a controversial and temporarily suspended feature that redirected many .com and .net domains, company representatives said Wednesday.
A federal judge on Tuesday handed domain name registry VeriSign a preliminary setback in its dispute with Internet regulators over proposals to add controversial new features to .com and .net addresses.
Increasingly, attackers are using better tools to find vulnerabilities quickly, exploit flaws and hide their attacks.
