NSI Caught Front-Running Domains
Looking for a new domain? Better be careful how you search for it.
As I reported a couple of years ago, registrars are taking what you are looking for and locking it down for themselves. So the instant you search, the name might be available. But 5 minutes later? It's not.
It's a complete outrage. For now, the only proof is this recent story about NSI reserving names, but I imagine there is a lot more fire for this amount of smoke.
If you thought real-estate and house/apartment leasing has its share of scumbags, you haven't seen nothing yet. Cyber property is taking that to an entirely new level.
