According to Coin Telegraph, there has reportedly been a security incident involving domain names at Squarespace. “Multiple decentralized finance (DeFi) apps were targeted in a domain registry attack on July 11, according to an X post from blockchain security platform Blockaid,” the article reported. As you may recall, Squarespace acquired the domain names registered at the Google’s domain registrar after Google exited the domain registrar business.

If you control the DNS, you control the domains that use it. UnstoppableDomains.com, for example:

They look clueless.

All that writeup about security, when they can't even secure their own domain.

Registry lock... Ever heard of it?

I took a look at the largest registrars.

Registry lock is used by -

GoDaddy, NameCheap, Tucows, Network Solutions, Enom, NameSilo, Name.com, and many others.

You can tell because the status will show something like -

serverDeleteProhibited
serverTransferProhibited
serverUpdateProhibited

There are some large registrars that don't use it, which seems like a security issue to me.
