I'm as eager as anyone else to blame overzealous US authorities and GoDaddy, but something doesn't fully add up. This doesn't fit the pattern of other seizures we've seen.

Why isn't there a big scary US ICE seizure banner on the domain? They're usually quite proud of their work.

Why is his .net domain still operational?

This looks to me more like GoDaddy operating on their own.




It's not a copyright issue. Scuttlebutt is that someone used their forms for phishing.


Seems like a plausible explanation.

Still, if the guy had not used Godaddy he probably would have his domain back already.
