Typo awards hero status to Verisign
by Martin Belam, 20 February 2004
Verisign triumphed as the ISPA Awards Villain of the year yesterday, although I'd like to draw particular attention to the nominations for the RIAA and The Home Office for idiocy above and beyond the call of duty. Unfortunately, a typo on the ISPAs site is currently announcing that "The ISPA Council considered Verisign should receive the Internet Hero Award 'for their presumption that they own the internet and the domain name system hijacking scandal'". D'oh!
