Verisign mistakes down 47 web sites
And, according to Mariano, it's not just his Web site but 46 other sites hit by the blunders and hard to fix because of an automated 24 by seven "service".
Verisign apparently killed the ST Report site by turning off Visioncommerce.com, but due to changes made in a database, he said, his and the other sites found himself in a cast iron embrace which meant whichever way he turned, it was a blind alley.
Verisign, he said, made sweeping changes to a database in which six domain names found themselves in a limbo from which it's practically impossible to emerge.
A week on, and Mariano has still got nowhere, he said. The full catalogue of errors is available on another site he's set up to... well, catalogue the errors.
You can find that page here.
Read it, and you'll see this journalist is by no means a happy bunny....µ

Sweet irony, you never fail to let us down (in a hilarious way, of course!)

In other words, the site he set up to document the downage is, yes, itself not functioning at the moment. Whether this is another Verisign blunder or some other kind of problem I know not.

But I think we can agree on one thing: Verisign needs to get off its lazy collective arse and do something about this "security" garbage! Or better yet, do nothing, get its pants sued off, go bankrupt, and maybe, just maaaaybe, some firm with a little competence will assume its role? Pleeeease? I'd like to keep my credit number MINE, thank you very little VS. Perhaps Sweet Irony will strike again- VS gets their bank account nicked 'cause they used an unencrypted connection or got phished by Dr. Atembe Moshamma Surrogate Prince of Spanigeria. To quote part of an R.C. song:
I hope you die a painful death ,

I hope you choke on your next breath,

You screwed me up you've done me wrong, 

I hope you die 'fore too long.

Cheers!
