I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.
That’s some bullshit. Looks like it’s time for a new registrar.
to top it off, the problem was a “serverHold” which as I understand can only be initiated by the top-level domain registrar, so the only way to make sure it doesn’t happen again is not to use a .io domain
I think you mean registry; they’re the sole entity responsible for managing the domain. Registrars are just the ones selling them. Technically speaking server status codes are supposed to be set by the registry, but I imagine they have some system in place to let registrars set certain status codes automatically.
