Navigating Domain Takedowns with Non-cooperative Registrars
Domain registrars can play a significant role in safeguarding websites by providing various security features, assuming they are reputable. But there are also ‘bad’ registrars; ones that are not only harmful for a company’s website and its users, but also for their lack of compliance in handling takedown requests resulting in threats to other organizations. These registrars are often referred to as ‘bulletproof’ – hinting at the way they shield cybercriminals from takedowns.
