Do the local-mapping exploits require unscrupulous registries?

0

No. The exploits do not require unscrupulous registries—it only requires that registries fail to police every URL that they register for possible spoofing behavior. The local mappings matter to security, because entering the same URL on two different browsers may go to two different IP addresses when the two browsers have different local mappings. The same thing could happen within an emailer that is parsing for URLs, and then opening a browser. Moreover, they are even more problematic if they affect the interpretation of web pages, in such as cases like href=”http://TÜRKIYE.com”.
