I use namecheap if that is relevant--maybe there's a better/more secure registrar to move to.
But I guess, equivalently, someone can just equivalently hijack your email account directly if you use a service like Gmail or Yahoo.

- tahdig 7y agoI think namecheap does not have a bad reputation, godaddy is known to be bad though(both security and customer support). The thing is, of course people can hack your gmail or yahoo mail somehow, but when you host your own domain, you have the same attack vectors + dns hijacking and this last addition is easier to exploit with social engineering. Google atleast is virtually immune to DNS hijacking.
