Yes, as it turns out using the internet requires reliance on third parties. Is the IP address of your mailserver as easy to compromise as your domain name? I don't know, it depends on your ISP, but it almost certainly requires a targeted attack. Using email to "secure" access to accounts is already "a really bad idea", so what can one do?
- PeterisP 10y agoIP address is harder to compromise, however, unlike domain names you cannot guarantee to own it permanently.
- c22 10y ago> unlike domain names you cannot guarantee to own it permanently. I'm not convinced this is a property of domain names. It seems like as long as you pay your bills, your provider stays in business, and no governments get involved, both these identifiers are effectively permanent. Your IP is likely provided by the same people who own or co-locate your physical server anyway. In any case, you're likely to get enough advance notice of ip changes to update your various accounts.
