美域名信息网站撰文称百度诉讼炒作成份更大

百度公司发布公告说由于本月早些时候遭到了来自伊朗网络军队的攻击，为此他们已经起诉域名注册商Register.com，百度声称由于Register.com的疏忽才使黑客有机会篡改域名的DNS记录。

我试图查找联邦通信委员会的诉讼记录，但是一无所获。如果你弄清了这次诉讼背后的细节就会觉得这非常有趣，照常理来说它会非常具体的揭示黑客是如何干掉这个网站的，包含对baidu.com域名DNS记录的任何修改。

事实上现在的网站也需要域名注册商提供更安全的服务，包括在对域名联系信息和域名服务器（NS）的修改前验证（操作人员的身份）。我不是很肯定这样的服务将有利可图，虽然我知道至少有一家在之前已经这么干了。企业会不会愿意花大价钱来确保他们的域名不被黑掉？他们或许会，但并不意味着他们一定会。

Baidu, Inc. announced that it has sued domain name registrar Register.com over a hacking incident by Iranian Cyber Army earlier this month. Baidu claims that Register.com was negligent, allowing the hackers to change the DNS for the domain name.

I have searched U.S. Federal Court records to find the lawsuit, but have not located it. It will be interesting to see the details behind the lawsuit, as presumably it will detail what exactly the hackers did to take down the site, including any edits to the nameservers for Baidu.com.

Once again, it’s time for a registrar to offer bullet-proof registrations, including a service that requires in-person verification to make any changes to a domain’s contact information or nameservers. I’m not sure if such a service will profitable, as I know at least one domain entrepreneur tried this in the past. Will companies pay substantially more to ensure their domain names aren’t hacked? They should, but that doesn’t mean they will.
