Imagine you could see a registrar's WHOIS query logs in real time...

I'm sure it's done in one way or another.
Whether an inside job from someone working at the registrar, or hackers spying on the logs (which would probably be low-risk since they're not actually manipulating data in any way, only viewing it)

Its already being done. I had a cyber squatter for a domain I had looked up (the guy had bought the domain only an hour after I had looked it up. 5 Days later the domain was available again (guess he figured I wouldn't buy it from him) and I snatched it up right awayskype: lordofthecameltoeComment

the one thing that happened to me that pissed me off was when I went in to backorder a domain and the company it was registered with ended up keeping the domain and squatting on it instead of releasing it to the public. I really wish i was in that position.
I contacted them to see how much they wanted and they were asking $10k for 24 hours of having a domain.
that shit made me madder than hell

It wouldn't be that low risk, as an example, recently some high profile Estonians got busted for viewing headlines from a business website before the articles were published, allowing them to have insider information with witch to buy & sell stocks with. They're currently having their asses handed to them, even though all they were doing was exploiting a flaw in the website's code and simply viewing the headlines with a spider.Comment

companies that allow you to 'backorder' domains can keep these domains themselves?Originally posted by BlueMoonthe one thing that happened to me that pissed me off was when I went in to backorder a domain and the company it was registered with ended up keeping the domain and squatting on it instead of releasing it to the public.

Rumors are that many people are already doing it and immediately listing on SEDO/Afternic or testing initial traffic, then dumping within 5 days if there's no bites or hits. Soon they'll be exposed & blacklisted... plus removed (permanently de-accredited) & penalized by ICANN... and all the info will be made public. Already whispers of class-actions against certain companies. End of story, for now.Originally posted by rowanHow crazy would you go?

Interesting. I was just speculating myself when I started this thread, after doing a bunch of WHOIS queries to try to find a suitable domain name for a new project. I'm not too surprised to find out that it's "really" happening.Originally posted by TabooRumors are that many people are already doing it and immediately listing on SEDO/Afternic or testing initial traffic, then dumping within 5 days if there's no bites or hits.
