I called
directnic today to see where someone would stand if they just sent transfer requests to domain holders with invalid email whois information. He admitted that this was a very tough situation and by the tone of his voice it sounded as though this is a lot bigger than just having to send 1 confirmation instead of 2.
My call was not to confirm this was happening, I was just seeing whether transferring domains this way would be considered fraud and I got my answer. Many people will not read this thread or may be on vacation without email access for a couple weeks. Meanwhile, they are sitting on domains worth thousands of dollars. I would be interesting to see what news becomes of this within the next couple weeks.
Some registrars and news sites specifically may have false sources for information. The top 5 domain registrars should have an exact description of whats going on incase anyone wants to confirm exactly whats going on.
I locked all my domains a couple days ago and am very happy that I saw on of the threads. It's good that this topic is reposted hundreds of times since threads get moved very far back in a matter of minutes on this forum.
