Protect registrant data and renew on time

Exposed registrant details fuel targeted phishing, and a lapsed domain can be hijacked outright.

Why it matters

Public WHOIS contact data is a gift to social engineers. An expiring domain is worse — lose it and an attacker can register it and impersonate you completely.

How to fix it

Enable registrar WHOIS privacy where the law allows, turn on auto-renew, and lock the domain against unauthorised transfers.
