A subhead I saw on Wired News:
The case of sex.com is slated to go before a federal appeals court, which will hear arguments from an accused con man, a porn-site operator and the largest domain-name registry [Verisign].
Quick: Which of these three is the most dishonest?
The lawyers have to be loving this one, because they’re absolutely guaranteed not to be the most hated people in the courtroom.
David Farquhar is a computer security professional, entrepreneur, and author. He has written professionally about computers since 1991, so he was writing about retro computers when they were still new. He has been working in IT professionally since 1994 and has specialized in vulnerability management since 2013. He holds Security+ and CISSP certifications. Today he blogs five times a week, mostly about retro computers and retro gaming covering the time period from 1975 to 2000.
Sad part, after reading that article, I think I’d distrust Verisign.
I know. Also remember, they didn’t forget to invite a spammer to this Hall of Shame meeting. Verisign’s the spammer.
Well, the porn-site operator is at least up-front (sorry!) about what he’s doing. Maybe not desirable, but honest. Then we have the maybe con-man. If he’s guilty, then at least he did it retail, not wholesale. Then we have Verisign.
