Cybersecurity concerns

Businesses and consumers in the Asia-Pacific region are very concerned about cybersecurity, and domain name registrars are not exempt from these dangers. A security lapse at the domain registrar Webnic in 2019 gave hackers access to several consumers' domain names. The attack impacted some Chinese, Malaysian, and Singaporean websites, which caused some of them to redirect to phishing pages. This incident highlighted the dangers of domain hijacking, which can seriously harm a company's brand and finances. Domain name registrars and their clients may be impacted by distributed denial of service (DDoS) assaults, a frequent cyberattack. A significant DDoS assault that affected the Australian domain registrar Melbourne IT in 2018 caused its services to be unavailable for several hours. The Armada Collective, a gang that wanted a ransom payment in exchange for ending the attack, was blamed for the attack. Even though Melbourne IT could ultimately resume operations, the incident served as a reminder of the dangers of DDoS attacks and the necessity of effective cybersecurity measures.
