White House & ICANN
The White House has dodged a denial-of-service attack launched by the 'Code Red' computer virus by shifting to a different numerical web address, according to security experts.
ICANN, the Internet's controlling body, is trying to assert its dominance by warning of the dangers of alternative domains. A policy document says the advantages of a single source, or root, for domain names well outweighs demands to change it. If opened up, it would mean some addresses on the Net could not be found by others.
