Given the recent news about a high rate of spam with certain registrars, security is all the more a concern for our domains.
On one registrar I use, there were issues with some of my domains resolving to an ad-parking service. It appears that the nameservers had been changed for the Ns1. The Ns2 nameservers were correct, but the Ns1 had been modified. And, even when I tried changing the NS back to the correct one, it later reverted back to the modified version.
Has anyone had this experience? As it turns out, that particular registrar had one of the highest spam ratings on a recent report, so one wonders if the unsolicited nameserver changes reflect part of the problem.
Also, are the registrars still required to contact the registrant if the nameservers are changed by someone other than that individual?
