When you own domain names associated with the trademarks of a large company, more often than not, they’re going to file a complaint with the ICANN UDRP(Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy).

A 21-year-old Australian TAFE student has created the world’s first iPhone virus designed to infect phones that have not been protected by passwords.
