    Its not such a bad thing.. vulnerability seems to be an issue ^_^ that needs to be examined.. ...in a way its helpful.. I don't see why someone would want to h4ck ICANN or IANA... lol... ya I do! Who's the idiot that keeps thinking about oppening up domains to any extension... ..one of the worst ideas on the internet... also, its one of the most poorly regulated authorities... and who let .info come out?! That was a hint of stupidity before it came out.. photobucket?! oh, why would someone suxx that?! I wonder who has photobucket accounts?! Maybe try being secure..
