Patch Already Being Created To Circumvent Verisign's Typosquatting

Note: A CRLF will be replaced by a break tag (&lt;br&gt;), all other allowable HTML will remain intact
Allowed HTML Tags: &lt;b&gt; &lt;i&gt; &lt;a&gt; &lt;em&gt; &lt;br&gt; &lt;strong&gt; &lt;blockquote&gt; &lt;hr&gt; &lt;tt&gt;

Well that was fast. For all the talk of how Verisign is breaking the internet, leave it to the techies to come up with a quick solution. The folks who developed BIND, the software for domain name directories, is frantically working on a patch that will allow ISPs to ignore Verisign's hijacking of typo domains.
