According to the Netcraft article, Dotster.com has not automatically locked domains, as some other registrars have. And Chris72 posted a letter from Register.com that said they'd be unable to lock domains for at least a month until they upgrade their software. That's not exactly a fuckup, as ICANN doesn't require it of registrars, but they apparently chose to do nothing about the new security threats. I would guess that this alleged inaction was a factor, but it's going to be hard getting details of what exactly happened, since the registrars involved are unlikely to publicize the details.
