This thread here suggests that more activity might be expected again from the #OpenNIC parallel #DNS #root .

Not sure, if more activity, and a reborn of the #OpenNICproject leads to less or more abuse from the system. Any opinions from the #infosec community?

I agree, John! From a researcher's perspective, it is interesting to keep an eye on it. These projects circumvent any moderation, which tends to attract illicit activity.
@resingm I am not a fan of alt roots as you know. This and other tech like it I lump together seem to shun the coordination they don't like. They often tend toward anarchy and chaos while receding from reliability and accountability (and often authenticity too). Infosec usually want the latter.
I'm _really_ curious why you'd refer to OpenNIC as a "threat"; can you elaborate on that?

(I promise I'm not interested in debating anything; I just don't get how " threat" applies to it.)

@spike - Whoops, sorry Eliza, it was a typo (I am not a native speaker). I meant thread as in "mailing list thread".
