Network Solutions Sucks

April 22, 2002

I've heard about instances recently of Network Solutions/Verisign letting domains get hijacked easily. The latest victim is Bernardo's List, Bernardo Joselevich's list of Silicon Alley events. Verisign just lost BernardosList.com:

Something quite e-shocking happened to me today, and it seems it could happen to anyone: my internet address, BernardosList.com, was erased by mistake for unknown reasons by Verisign/NetworkSolutions (they say they may be able to get it back for me in one or two months at the earliest!). No explanation was available on why an address that was paid could disappear just like that.

Sounds like time for another round of angry weblog mob justice...
