Afilias Deletes .Info Domain Names After Glitch
Source: Newsbytes
"A software glitch at the .info domain registry operated by Afilias briefly allowed scores of people to register Internet addresses that had fewer than the required three characters, the company confirmed today.
Filters designed to prevent .info domain names with one or two characters from being registered were accidentally disabled for several hours Wednesday during a registry software upgrade, according to Roland LaPlante, chief marketing officer of Afilias, operator of the central database of .info domain names.
