Since April 2009, DNS BE has blocked almost 200,000 .be-domain names upon
the advice of ICANN (http://www.icann.org). When using the whois, the status 'blocked' was shown for these names.
Every 3 months we receive an up-to-date list from ICANN containing domain names sighted by the Conficker
worm. This list contains mainly new domain names which are not yet registered, nor
blocked; a small percentage contains domain names that were already sighted
before.
Therefore, DNS BE has decided to unblock all non-registered domain names
that figured on earlier Conficker lists but that do not pose a threat
anymore. Those domain names will be unblocked this week.
In order to avoid speculation, we will never publish a list of these domain
names.
