Security Risk at many domain registrars
Hi All

1. Does your registrar REQUIRE Email Validation of changes made to key things like Login Password, Contact Info, or DNS Info?

2. What if a hacker were to get into your account(s) and change the login password?

For example, at this time, some registrars, like GoDaddy, do NOT require email validation of login password changes...................Huh?

Other registrars, like NameBargain (based on Register.com), DO require email validation before effecting the changes.

ALL REGISTRARS SHOULD REQUIRE EMAIL VALIDATION OF ALL CRITICAL CHANGES..........PERIOD!!!!!!

1. Login Password
2. Contact Info
3. DNS Info

Also, you should be allowed more than 8 chars for the password (some registrars have this restriction). Like, maybe up to 12 or more chars should be the standard.

Any thoughts, suggestions?

Thanks.

P.S. - No, I don't own NameBargain....Smile....wish I did, though...
