Starting in December 2009, CNNIC began to review the registered domain name registration information one by one. If the registration information is untrue and has not been corrected after the expiration date, the domain name will be canceled. It is estimated that as of today, tens of thousands of domain names have been canceled due to untrue registration information!
When registering a domain name, you need to fill in your personal name, phone number, mobile phone number, email address, home address, etc. Once these information are filled in, anyone can check it online!
Many people fill in false information when registering domain names, not because they want to build illegal websites, but because they are afraid of data leakage! Once data is leaked on the Internet, it can easily be used for illegal activities!
I once received a notice from my bank saying that I owed 7,000 yuan on my credit card. I was very confused as to when I had applied for a credit card. My phone had only been installed for 3 months, and my phone number had never been told to anyone. What happened to the bank? Do you know my home phone number? Think about it carefully, I once filled in my home phone number when registering an account on two very formal websites! Then my phone number must have been leaked through those two websites. Please don’t doubt those two websites here. Is this website legitimate? I have been online for many years. After all, my friend used to apply for a mobile phone card due to online data leakage and embezzlement. After that, I was very careful when filling in the information online. I did not expect that the data would be stolen this time. Later, I went to Bank of China. After confirming, I found out that someone else had used my phone number and I didn’t know where the other information came from, so I applied for a credit card at the bank. Fortunately, it didn’t go through!
Many websites can query domain name registration information, and anyone can query it. Let’s take a look at what information about domain name registrants can be found online! http://whois.webmasterhome.cn/, you can query it here. From here you can see the registrant’s name, home address, phone number, registration email and other information!
If domain name registration information can be kept confidential at home and abroad, then I think there will be fewer and fewer cases of using false information to register domain names!
