What's up with the whois spam for google.com?

  This is old news, microsoft.com had the same crap for years.

    And Amazon, and Yahoo, and other popular domains. The problem is that InterNic should not sit and quietly accept this kind of abuse.

      Honestly, any regulatory scheme over subdomains would be even worse than this "abuse".
      • acangiano 16y ago
        Subdomains are not the problem. The issue is that these are registered namesevers, as pointed out by "there" below.

  Often used for phishing. "Login to your account: http://google.com.adsfjk.asdf.asdfpuiasdf/soasdf.html http://google.com.adsfjk.asdf.asdfpuiasdf/soasdf.html blah blah."

    hardly. these are registered nameservers showing in whois and have nothing to do with random subdomains.
