Newsy.com: New International Domain Names

November 15, 2009 3:27

International Internet regulator ICANN is accepting applications for non-Latin alphabet web addresses this week. Media outlets around the globe weigh in on if the breakthrough will benefit the cyberspace. This should help a lot of local businesses who wish to create web sites and domain name in their native language.

Rachel Maddow has become a geek and was one of the first people to discuss the development on national news. There are downsides, too. Phishers have been using non-Latin characters in web names to misdirect Internet users and steal passwords and credit card information. The rogue Russian Business Network and other crackers will try to take advantage of this development.
