NoDaddy.com

Recently, a very popular security web site Seclists.org, which hosts some 250,000 pages of mailing list archives and other resources was taken offline by Myspace and GoDaddy. Briefly, this is what happened: You remember the latest phishing scam that stole thousands of Myspace usernames/passwords. The file with the stolen Myspace username/password was archived on the site. So, MySpace asked GoDaddy to take the domain offline and GoDaddy redirected the domain.

In response to the suspension of his popular domain Seclists.org, Fyodor has created a new site NoDaddy.com. On the site, you can find suggestions to alternative registrars, GoDaddy Horror Stories, Forums.

NoDaddy.com

Wow.

This is going to demonstrate whether Free Speech is still existing in the USA. GD attorneys are going to turn into fire breathing dragons and Parson is going to misuse it as a PR gig if he gets the slightest chance.

I'm certainly interested in how this is going to turn out.... :hehe:

I bet the most Godaddy will do is post a page of their own explaining what was done. If they take ol' Fyodor's page down, I would be surprised...that WOULD be wrong. However, as has been mentioned in the long-running thread in Industry News, nowhere did he mention that peoples' Myspace passwords were on his website, which of course then sidesteps the issue.

Why would someone post a list with user names and passwords on the web? I think that he deserves to get the site taken away, that makes no sense to me.

If it violates any existing laws (if any, anyway), why would it be wrong?

Besides, they don't have to. Where that gripe site is currently registered at,
dear Fyodor hasn't possibly learned his lesson.

I meant the current NoDaddy.com one, which as it stands does not break any laws I'm aware of. Trust me, I've been on your side with the Seclists.org discussion in Industry News.

That is way too low from godaddy legal counsel ... I'm moving away from godaddy as soon as I can.... I still have some domains from them, it will take some time.

I like fyodor, giving away security tools for free (nmap.org)

Nope. Possibly worse.

Nope. Possibly worse.

How so?

Whats with people saying they'll move to GoDaddy because it's against anti-GoDaddy sites and about SuperBowl Ads?

Any company would do this. Also the quality of registrar has nothing to do with ads. Don't like the ads? Don't look at them.

quite the litte b_tch eh? lol.

anyhow, if we take the limit of this function as it approaches infinity, gd and other responsible registrars will be the only ones left standing. all the website makers with their illegal content will eventually take down the registrars that are foolish enough to let its customers simply do whatever they want because they paid them $9.

also, if anything, this whole incident would bring more business to gd. why? well simply put, the majority of people understand and agree with the decision gd made to take down the site. in a way it's good now that all the questionable website makers take their business elsewhere and take down the "cool, let-you-do-whatever" registrars.

some people like the strict law in singapore, some people prefer the freedom of owning guns in US. It is hard to take sides.

I like the strict laws in Singapore. :D
