news Epik is Done - ICANN Sends Letter of Registrar Breach

[404]

do you know the identities of the people of all the registrars you're working with?
GoDaddy is a public company, but all the others like Dynadot, Porkbun, etc.?

Yes.

This was posted elsewhere

By an unverified account claiming to be the 'new' Epik. It could be legit but you know... Could be trolling.

On the other hand, do you know the identities of the people of all the registrars you're working with?
GoDaddy is a public company, but all the others like Dynadot, Porkbun, etc.?

Yes, it's all public info. Let's take one, Dynadot. You could simply Google - https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=+dynadot+ceo

What are you talking about? Reps that run those companies engage with the domain investor community all the time.

@DomainsGENERAL.com

By "reps", you mean representatives, I assume.
The context was more about owners and management of the companies, which is quite different.

Or maybe I misunderstood. But why would you care about the identity of "reps" or people working at a company?
Also, it is a widely used practice to not use the actual legal names of people at some places.
And many companies just use accounts under the company name, don't they?

Ok, and you searched that before? Because it was important information for you? (Note: the name of the CEO)
I'm just trying to understand your POV related to your above mention I did quote.

Ok, I didn't account for events like this, which I never attended. Fair point.

I don't really understand the twitter account part, tho. Epik has one too, which will probably be transferred to the new company, or they'll get a new one. So, they'll also have one. I don't see the point there.

As for you NP list, if I look for example at Dynadot, Porkbun or NameSilo, which I use most, no, the main of the activity seems to be done under a company account. And your point doesn't seem to hold much water about the identities of (all) the current "reps".

I simply stated the fact we don't know who's behind the new Epik. We don't, not yet. You posted some other registrars where we do know.

we do know.

We "know" what the companies are themselves saying, aren't we? What information they chose to make public.
I would argue you may have an illusion of "knowing".

No. BS. This can be fact checked. Bar some dodgy registrars, like Epik 1.0, 2.0 or whatever they refer to themselves these days
