Namemon reports that Google has changed its stance on .ME domains. Rather than forcing webmasters to set the geographic location to Montenegro, Google has opened up the settings to allow any .ME domain to be set to any geo-target. Some companies have launched large campaigns on ME, so it remains to be seen how popular this extension will become.

This morning at 9:45 AM, I began receiving warnings from Google on my Chrome browser that a number of sites I searched for were "potentially malicious", with the warning This site may harm your computer. After opening Internet Explorer and Safari, I was able to determine that this was a system-wide error, which does not yet appear to be fixed.

Domain Name Scams reports that DomainSure contacted Rewards Network (a Nasdaq listed corporation), about one of their domain names being hacked. Apparently security isn't much of an issue at Rewards, where they had over 40 domains registered with old invalid account information. Someone had hacked one of the accounts and posted IRN.com for sale on a domain message board. After investigating, the anti-scam company got in touch with Rewards who prompty snubbed them for the effort. Apparently, the Reward for reporting fraud is to be labeled fraudulent.
