This is something that got me thinking because of an issue I just ran into. I transferred a .ca from NameSilo to another registrar today. During the transfer I picked my default contact info. After the transfer, the new registrar listed NameSilo as the registrant with my email address. After updating my contact info it still lists NameSilo as the registrant with my address. The only reason I even noticed is because they failed to apply WHOIS privacy.
So what happens if they had enabled WHOIS privacy, but provided CIRA with the wrong registrant name and info? Is there a risk of losing that domain or can a registrar fix something like that? My biggest fear would be having a domain stolen and not being able to prove prior ownership.
Does anyone have a way of and make a point of checking to ensure the registrant is correctly set for domains that are using WHOIS privacy?
