What changed, in plain language

Verisign merged its two abuse-reporting sections into one "Reporting Abuse" section, swapped the reporting webform link, and dropped the separate email address for non-DNS abuse. No changes to your rights, data, fees, or legal obligations.

This change appears to be cosmetic (formatting, typos, or contact details).

Changelog

  1. ± CHANGEDTwo abuse-reporting sections combined into one

    The old document had a "DNS Abuse" section and a separate "Malicious Conduct" section for other bad behavior. These are now a single section called "Reporting Abuse" that covers all abuse in Verisign-managed domains.

    ## 1.1.13 DNS Abuse

    ## 1.1.13 Reporting Abuse

  2. ± CHANGEDNew abuse report webform address

    The link for reporting abuse changed from the old DNSAbuse form to a new ReportAbuse form. Bookmark the new one if you had saved the old.

    Webform: [https://verisign.my.site.com/DNSAbuse/](https://verisign.my.site.com/DNSAbuse/)

    Webform: [https://verisign.my.site.com/ReportAbuse/](https://verisign.my.site.com/ReportAbuse/)

  3. − REMOVEDAbuse-reporting email address removed

    The info@verisign-grs.com email for reporting non-DNS malicious conduct is gone. You can still report by webform or postal mail, both of which are still listed.

    Email: [info@verisign-grs.com](mailto:info@verisign-grs.com)

  4. ± CHANGEDSections renumbered

    Because two sections became one, Contact Information moved from 1.1.15 to 1.1.14. Nothing in it changed.

    ## 1.1.15 Contact Information

    ## 1.1.14 Contact Information
