ICANN security chief, Jeff Moss, rules out malicious attack behind gTLD glitch
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) has revealed more details on the problems afflicting its submission system for generic top level domains that forced it to take the system offline and extend the submission deadline.
The organisation first announced there was an issue earlier this month, revealing that some information submitted by firms applying for a new domain may have been visible to one another in the process.
Speaking in a video interview, the organisation's chief security officer Jeff Moss said that having studied the issue, he was confident there was no malicious intent behind the glitch. "We analysed all the logs and any other indicators that may suggest and intrusion, we didn't find anything. Nothing points to a compromise, [there's] no indicator of a compromise"," he said.
