ICANN seeks to tackle DNS namespace collision risks

     The report also intriguingly makes reference to a vulnerability that
     JAS uncovered which is "not directly related to ICANN's New gTLD
     Program nor to new TLDs in general that has the potential to impact
     end-systems". "After extensive discussions with impacted vendors, JAS
     is concerned that publication of the experimental methods and data
     contained in the complete JAS report may accelerate discovery of the
     vulnerability and/or serve to facilitate exploitation of the
     vulnerability after it is discovered," the report states.

Oh yeah, I'm sure you're going to be able to keep that secret, guys.
