shell1% whois vestigial3had.com...No match for "VESTIGIAL3HAD.COM". What gives ? How can their be no whois info anywhere ?Read NANOG archives - Verisign now allows immediate (well, within about 10 minutes) updates of .com/.net zones (also same for .biz) while whois data is still updated once or twice a day. That means if spammer registers new domain he'll be able to use it immediatly and it'll not yet show up in whois (and so not be immediatly identifiable to spam reporting tools) - and spammers are in fact using this "feature" more and more!
You can also make whois information private, usually for an additional fee.
