Please elaborate, how would block chain solve this problem?

[bifrost]

It would not.

There's a number of DNS-like protocols on blockchain, e.g. ENS (Ethereum Name System - https://ens.domains/), Handshake (https://handshake.org/).

They provide same functionality as DNS[sec]. You are not at whim of a corpo, nobody can suspend you, corrupting or hijacking records is pretty much impossible...

That sounds like an excellent feature. Especially for phishing and other scammers who need bulletproof hosting.

If we treat Blockchain as a database with specific properties, and use that to back DNS, then we have a DNS system with those specific properties, instead of the system we currently have, which has different specific properties. Some of those properties are desirable, but as we see here, some of them are not.
