Game of Registrars: An Empirical Analysis of Post-Expiration Domain Name Takeovers
An empirical study of domain ownership change after expiration, covering the drop-catch race to re-register deleted names and registrars selling customers' expired domains pre-release. It finds 10% of com domains re-registered on deletion day, most same-day org re-registrations occurring within 30 seconds, and drop-catch services controlling over 75% of accredited registrars while winning under a tenth of creations. Such changes can circumvent established security mechanisms.
