That's to the public whois system, sure. But LEAs could still obtain court orders to get the actual contact information for the domain owner; registrars are legally mandated to maintain that information, and customers are expected to keep that up to date.
- bombcar 4y agoYeah, it's just that they probably aren't doing anything against the rules since the "technical" registrant never changed. It's still a silly setup - but then again, we have the same thing in banking - I could send you funds if I know your routing and ACH number (which is available on any of your checks, etc). So if I were a big crime lord I could randomly send money directly to people I didn't like so they'd go down with me.
