DNS should not be an ISP problem.<br>
<br>
It seems to me that if the problem is killed off at the source (ie Domain<br>
registration and Nameservers), then a large proportion of the problem goes<br>
away.<br>
As many sources of infection are websites specifically built to infect PCs,<br>
who does have responsibility for policing the registrars? ICANN?<br>
<br>
If so, pressure should be increased to have at least one infection vector<br>
better controlled. There can be increasing penalties leading to eventually<br>
withdrawal of accreditation used against registrars if they continue to<br>
allow fraudulent domain name registrations and fail to act when notified of<br>
'bad' websites. I imagine It wouldn't take too long once a few registrars<br>
were put out of business for the others to clean up their act and reduce the<br>
problem to more manageable levels.<br>
<br>
What I don't know is how we can increase pressure on ICANN to clean up the<br>
DNS system they have allowed to get out of control. Me saying something to<br>
them is not likely to work :( Does anyone know of any practical way this<br>
can be achieved?<br>
