Strange whois results
Did a whois today on Facebook (because it was unreachable) and noticed strange things coming up. Any idea what this is all about?
(Ignore the brush marks, hiding the stuff that was behind)
Solution 1:
Yep, spammers are even targeting WHOIS records.

Your whois for domain.com
is being treated as actually being a search for *domain.com*
. Entirely harmless, if a little scary the first time you run across it.
Solution 2:
The beyondWhois search seems to pull that up, but a regular Whois.net search pulls up the correct information.
