In ICANN's there was another leak data. Along with the list of applications for new top-level domains-for-profit organization has published home addresses and other contact details of hundreds of applicants. Currently, access to the list of applications for new top-level domains is closed.
This is stated in the report of the Coordination Center for TLD. After the publication of the list of applications June 13 applicants have found that in the public domain are not only the names of companies that have filed an application for a domain. Electronic, corporate, and in some cases - and home addresses of the applicants have also been published in the list of ICANN. This directly contradicts the main regulatory documents - the management of the applicant for a new top-level domain, which indicates that the contact details of applicants should not be disclosed to the public.
"It was an oversight, and the files are already available on the Internet - said Michelle Jordan (Michele Jourdan), Communications Manager, the new top-level domains within ICANN. - We are working to publish a list of already without this information. "
Applicants for domains already reported adverse effects of the leak. Thus, in a short period since the publication of these applicants have already encountered the spam lists, sales managers calls, invitations to conferences and offering services. For applicants for the "disputed" domain names that are associated with beliefs or religion, such a leak could also be a lot of risks.
"Unfortunately, ICANN for the second time shows leakage of critical information, and it clearly does not increase the reputation of the corporation, - said Andrei Kolesnikov, director of the Coordinating Center. - But still ahead of us "digital archery" - a procedure for determining which applications will be considered first, and which - later. No one in this case can not give assurance that the "target" is round, and the "boom" direct. "
Access to the list of applications will be restored as soon as the ICANN removes from this list, the personal data of applicants. Recall that not long ago in ICANN, there was another accidental data leakage associated with the system for filing applications for new domains.
