It’s been 7 months since you wrote this and opendns is still not blocking goggle.com

WHY?

Please, just do everybody a favor and block it already!

Are you scared of getting sued by the bad guys?

If you do what’s right, it will probably get a lot of publicity and everybody on digg.com, reddit.com, slashdot.com, etc. will start talking about how cool opendns.com is again.

Letting this go for so long is a big mistake and a disservice.

At the very least put up a redirect to a warning page giving users a choice to go to google.com which is most likely 99% the intended destination.

Isn’t this what opendns is supposed to be protecting people from?

Isn’t this at the very top on the bad guys list who need to be taken out?

Thank you for offering opendns as a free public service.

I’m just very upset by this whole issue because I have recently had to do some really nasty clean ups of virus and spy/malware infections from people who accidentally went to goggle.com, in one case it was so bad it was easier to just back up the data and use the system restore CD!!!

These people need to be put in jail, have huge punitive fines and charged with felony fraud and cybercrimes, just like any other virus or worm writer. They need to be put out of business!

Thanks for your time and to clarify, I am not mad at you or opendns, I’m just angry about the fact that, as you put it, so many people are so concerned with getting their little piece of the money pie that they don’t care it’s dirty money, it’s organized crime is what it is!!! It’s a massive criminal syndicate. These scoundrels need to be hit hard, where it hurts and taught a lesson that the Internet community will not stand idly by and put up with their antics. You have already started to shine a light on this subject, but you have a massive weapon that can be used to really hurt these guys, so please use it! You will be a hero and everybody will thank you and love you for it. So, don’t even think about it, just go into your DNS server and modify the DNS records.. it will take all of 30 seconds of work, so just do it!!!

Cue intricate discussion of techie stuff which 70% of us won’t understand…

Guillaume,

Right now we’ve taken the giant leap of providing users with choice and control in managing their DNS, something that has never existed before and that people are quickly realizing they want. In launching, we started with some basic and fundamental features like typo-correction and phishing protection. In response to things happening on the Internet, we’ve added additional features to deal with issues like the Cameroon typo-squatting debacle.

I didn’t know about goggle.com until after we launched when one of our users wrote in to tell us about it. We’re familiar with the nasty side of the Internet but goggle.com was particularly annoying for all the reasons I point out in the article and more. You can bet we’ll be adding in the tools and features so that you can best decide how you want sites like goggle.com handled on your part of the Internet.

Best advice: stay tuned to our blog for updates.
