Registering Domains with Network Solutions

After reading this article on Slashdot about NSI immediately registering every free domain that is searched for on their site, I went ahead and tried it myself. Indeed, seconds after searching for two random domain-names they were immediately registered (or locked). They even put a domain-parking page on it. Since this is all fully automated I can’t help but wonder what would happen if somebody were to search for all sorts of trademarked names, especially from companies that are fairly aggressive in suing for trademark infringements. I wonder if they thought about that …

Joe-job …

Seems like I’m having a good start into the new year: some spammers are spoofing from-addresses from one of my domains. 1500 bounces is probably just the beginning … :-(
