from the you-tell-me dept.

I recently updated my list of Seattle Tech Employers. All the way at the bottom is a link to Zoomingo, a local shopping site. When viewed on the iPhone, but not on Android, Windows nor Mac OS X, Zoomingo's Jobs page serves pr0n.

I attempted to contact Zoomingo through their contact page a few days ago but met with no response. I called the Domains by Proxy number listed in their WHOIS, only to reach a totally clueless customer service agent. He was generally nice about it, but quite confused.

"We only pass on your phone messages when they call in for it."

"Suppose they don't call in until a month from now. Are they going to be happy that a local sales website has been serving pr0n for a solid month?"

My understanding is that the Uniform Domain Dispute Resolution Policy requires up-to-date contact information in one's WHOIS record; I recall specifically that a domain was lost due to a stale postal address.

I don't have a problem with WHOIS privacy services but there should be a way for anyone who wants to reach the admin of a faulty server, to reach it immediately.

(My guess is that Zoomingo's jobs page depends on Javascript from some other domain, and that other domain's nameservers have been 0wnz0r3d.)
