Doesn’t enforce whois accuracy — Even CSC

Doesn’t enforce whois accuracy — Even CSC

Two months later Cocomo.com still has bogus whois information.

You would think that a brand management intellectual property firm would enforce whois accuracy on its clients. But apparently not.

Two months ago I wrote regarding the sale of Cocomo.com for $33,000. The domain name had just been transferred to CSC (Corporation Service Firm) with obviously bogus whois information:

I submitted a whois inaccuracy note to ICANN. I assumed the registrant information would be quickly updated. Following all, we are talking regarding a brand protection firm here. If a brand management firm gets an email from ICANN saying one of their clients has false whois information, you’d think they’d act. But today I received an update notice asking me if the whois record had been updated.

It has not. The domain name is still registered to a Ms. Sue D Nym on Main Street in Anywhere, IL.

[Update: as John points out, the whois has been updated as of 12/16/11]

Also on the wire
