Karoo are flogging your typos to yet another company!

Nice -  it looks like KCOM is now selling your typos to infosearch.com

Bear in mind that this is after websites like The Register approached KCOM about their previous DNS redirection flirtation with Ask, and despite many customer complaints asking them to stop.

I guess that it just goes to prove that the draw of extra cash and the knowledge that you have nowhere else to go will override customer wishes every time with KCOM.

Oh, and just in case you wondered why this could be an issue. Here's another reason why DNS redirections are bad! http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/04/20/kaminsky_demo_at_toorcon/

In Krapoo's defence the alternate DNS servers that don't redirect do seem to be working.

Apparently Karoo think infosearch is better, than Ask. Its the second part of the trial.

Glad there's an opt out. If I make a url typo, I only want Google suggesting what I might have wanted.
