The principle and implementation of domain name hijacking? In view of this problem, this article introduces the corresponding analysis and answers in detail, hoping to help more partners who want to solve this problem to find a more simple and feasible way.

As an important part of corporate image, domain name needs to be carefully protected. If the domain name is controlled by others, it may have a bad impact on the online business.

After you buy your own domain name, you become the owner and are given the right to use the domain name on the website. However, just because a domain name is purchased legally does not mean it is secure. By using a variety of immoral or illegal means, hackers can transfer the ownership of the domain name to someone else's name, thus effectively controlling the domain name. This is called domain name hijacking.

The domain name is purchased from the domain name registrar, which enables the buyer to access and control the settings of the domain name. The buyer can specify the details of the domain name, ensure that the owner of the domain name is clearly defined, and confirm the website to which the domain name should be directed. No one can access these settings except the domain name owner.

Several ways of domain name being hijacked

To access domain name settings through a hosting provider or domain name registrar, you need to enter two things: the user name and password that you set when you purchased the domain name. The user name is usually the buyer's e-mail address. Nothing is easier to find, and all a hacker has to do is look for a website in the whois directory.

Then they need the password set for the domain name account. Hackers can obtain passwords in a variety of ways, or at least collect personal information to help them break into domain name accounts. Here are two common strategies:

Identity theft: if there is a lot of information about your identity on the Internet and social media, hackers can use it to set security across domain name accounts.

For example, if a hacker can access an e-mail account, simply open the domain name account login page, click the "forgot password" link, and then reply to a confirmation email to impersonate it.

Phishing email: hackers may send phishing emails to trick others into revealing domain name account credentials. The email looks like an important letter from a registered service provider or hosting service provider who will ask for information related to the domain name account. Hackers do this because a certain percentage of people believe it and give up important information.

The answer to the question about the principle and implementation of domain name hijacking is shared here. I hope the above content can be of some help to you. If you still have a lot of doubts to be solved, you can follow the industry information channel to learn more about it.
