It's Verisign's return shot at the web browser "couldn't find this

though I don't recall where. Probably Wired or the WSJ. Verisign
wants

the revenue that all those typos are generating. It's just the next

I would null-route that IP, personally.





Nah, just route it to a Linux box with transparent proxy and show your
