Since April 2009,DNS BE has blocked almost 20,000 .be-domain names upon the advice of ICANN .
When using the whois, the status 'blocked' was shown for these names.
Every 3 months DNS BE receives 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.
