Verisign is fucking all of us, Like it?

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/32852.html

Verisign yesterday added wildcard DNS records to all .com and .net domains - redirecting surfers who get lost on the Net to a search page, called Site Finder, run by the company. Those who type in non-existent addresses will also be served up Site Finder, instead of an error message.

So many ways to exploit this, its not even funny.


Also, they clearly mention that they track and log all traffic to the site.
So basically, they have the best list of typo domains ever created. How long before they sell it to someone?
Also, how many copyrighted domain are being redirected? Arent cyber-squatting every domain?
