[AusNOG] Mass Domain Registrant records updated

[Cameron Worts]

Guys,

Sorry for the noise but we gained a client for hosting a few months back and when we asked the old agency  to update the registrant email address into the clients email so we can transfer it out.

What I believe has happened is the person that works for the agency who actioned the support ticket has done a mass update and updated over 600 domains and put the Registrant email address into our clients name/email address.

Now, our client is getting daily emails saying domains are expiring, phone calls/emails requesting domain passwords and yesterday he got a call from someone abusing him because my client details is on the whois details who only contacted me yesterday and asked me what was going on. I told my client to refer them back to the agency however this is now disrupting his business by getting regular emails and phone calls plus this could be a major security/privacy issue to those who domains are affected. Even the agency's domain details are in our clients name.

I have contacted the agency but they are like thanks and nothing has been actioned and it's been over 24 hours. Who can assist me with this I've contacted Afilias and AUDA and both are not responding or can't help me.

Potentially if this access gets in the wrong hands, one could do so much damage hence we are trying to do the right thing and get it resolved. I believe the Agency is a reseller for TPP Wholesale.


Regards,
Cameron
