If some attackers is able to hijack your website to point it elsewhere and publish through that either bad information that jeopardize your organization or even spill out cryptominers in javascript or other malware then indirectly people can consider YOU being the culprit... | |

More specifically: are there no setting (such as allow-transfer) on the nameserver that would send the information to the TLD registry "Transfer the ownership of the domain permanently"?

| Mar 25, 2021 at 11:53 | comment | added | g6kxjv1ozn | Thank you @M'vy. So, in general, even a very-badly configured nameserver can never compromise the permanent ownership of the domain? At the end I can always revert to the default registrar NS? Is that correct? | |
