Verisign's 'SiteFinder' finds privacy hullabaloo
Deborah Radcliff, SecurityFocus 2003-09-19

Privacy advocates have joined the chorus of critics of Verisign's "SiteFinder," which on Monday began directing mistyped dot-com and dot-net e-mail and Web addresses to a search site operated by the company and Overture.com, a Pasadena, Calif.-based advertising company that brands itself as a search engine.

Fighting SiteFinder 2003-09-21

I have spent all of Saturday trying to exclue myself from th SiteFinder service.

Unfortunately Verisign has a bot answering it's emails, I had two identical responses

presumably coming from real people.

I suggest that people call them up and point out that this "service" theyre receiving

from Verisign lacks a valid contract. I personally reject Verisign's Terms of Use

and therefore I should not receive their service.

What Verisign did is illegal: theyre binding us to a contract which was not established

with mutual consent of both parties.

Go to:http://verisign.com/corporate/about/contact/index.html

For a list of numbers you can call.
