October 22, 2007 at 16:01After whois-verification, the free domain lives for two minutes
Many of us faced an unpleasant situation: you come up with the original domain name for your project, check it with the registrar and make sure that the name is free. When you decide to register it the next day or in a couple of days, it suddenly turns out to be busy! Intuition tells you that you were deceived. Someone intercepted your search query and registered your domain (more precisely, just transferred it to yourself for free, taking it “for trial” - see domain tasting in detail here ).
Recently, the situation has worsened many times. The time interval from the moment of checking the domain to the time of its theft was reduced to a half to two minutes .
Naturally, the suspicion first of all falls on the registrar through whom you check the free domain. However, the theft is rather carried out not by him, but by other companies. The registrars themselves have already discovered the problem. According to them, information leakage occurs through the Network Solutions whois service, where a domain verification request is sent.
