[QUOTE="angel69, post: 2223154, member: 97749"] eNom is clearly not the top registrar it once was. Lots of nagative press about eNom's security the last few months, lots of domains being stolen from there. It can't all be bad luck or just some sad coincidence. Just like Moniker has fallen big time and now is not trusted by domainers. And I never believed Go Daddy's being the "victim registrar" for so many domain thefts was just due to "they're the largest, therefore the most domains get stolen from them" While there's some truth in that, GD did not use to be a very secure registrar, that has now changed considerably with the DTVS for transfers-out if you're a Premier customer, and its double-auth at sign-in being available to anyone for over 2 yrs now has also helped I am aware eNom has a double-auth system, security Qs, etc so it would be most concerning if their own database was what is being broken into. Scammers cannot do it all by themselves even if registrants take the bait in a phishing scam leading to their eNom acct, there also needs to be some type of vulnerability on the registrar's part, and in this case it appears there is one at eNom, big time. I basically use eNom for when I acquired names regged there, but renewal rates are preposterous unless you have one of their "sub" or reseller accts, so I end up moving them out before exp to other places. Funny, Name and Namecheap were two places I'd take my eNom names to, but since NC is a huge reseller for eNom I'll be looking into that carefully, they depend on eNom for many things and eNom is the real registrar for your names even when you only deal with NC. As to Name, now they're owned by Rightside, the spinoff domain co created by Demand Media recently, so eNom and Name now have the same parent co....tough choices to make if you decide not to do business with eNom, since other registrars and drop-catching giants like NameJet you may already do business with are part of the same conglomerate [/QUOTE]
