Websites can be hacked at any time without paying attention to the security of the domain. Domain can be hacked through the service provider or client.
If targeted at the vendor, the hacker will take advantage of the server's vulnerabilities or server vulnerabilities to take control. Then transfer the domain through another provider. At the lower level, the attacker will target the reseller (those who buy the bulk domain name from the original vendor for resale to the end user).
However, the most common attack direction is to target the client (about 90% of the domain name). The trick of this form is often the same is to seek to appropriately account through e-mail users registered domain name. The method is to send Trojan, keylogger, use fake log-in mail ... to steal passwords, especially e-mail password used domain name registration (domain of Informatics forums are for sale well this way). Another method is to impersonate the e-mail and then send it to the domain name provider to request a new password, or transfer the domain name elsewhere.
To avoid this, it is important to first select the domain name in the most trustworthy place. Do not compare why the price of the most trusted provider - Networkolutions.com - is over $ 35 per year, while many places are only 5-10. USD / year. The next step is to protect your domain name and all your e-mail accounts (use this e-mail in other transactions). Requires a vendor to set a & quot; lock & quot; domain and only carry the domain name when receiving the request of the user through the phone or text, to avoid being impersonated.
In addition, should regularly scan the Trojan, virus, do not receive or download strange files attached to e-mail, not to strange websites ... Especially should regularly check the status of the domain through login directly to the vendor's website, or indirectly at the address http://checkdomain.com to know the current status of your domain.
