Ironic isn't it. You ignored your paid subscriber in 2014, didn't respond to any @ tweets, your phone support went to voicemail, your forum threads were closed with no response. Karma is a bitch isn't it
If you treat any HN user as uncivilly as this again, we will ban you, regardless of what happened in 2014. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
Zoho CEO here. Our domain was abruptly blocked by our registrar this morning. Our NOC team and myself tried to get in touch with them and they tell us "Contact our legal". Even I could not get in touch with anyone beyond their phone operator. The domain was restored, but as DNS takes time to restore, we are still facing issues. They later claimed there were abuse complaints about Zoho.com emails (which is our persona…

This is a key error in their handling of their abuse@ address, it needs to be expected to receive spam.

If you’d like to use a strong captcha approach without using a competitor you might want to check out http://funcaptcha.com (I have no affiliation, have heard good things and been presented it on a couple of sites)
The "Book Demo" button and "read white paper" button seem to be broken, which does not inspire much confidence. The first button just takes me to the bottom of the page while the second button does nothing. Not sure if this is the same, but I once came across a website with a captcha where you had to rotate a dog so it stood upright, but it was lagging so bad that it would skip several frames, making it impossible to…

I suppose due to the increasing risk of being broken by competing neural networks, recaptcha appears to be moving towards a model based on usage heuristics in v3. This is something that is more easily achievable by a small startup, so I hope to see competition for this type of solution if there isn't some already.
I am working on exactly this at hcaptcha.com
Running their DNS on a 2-bit registrar is exactly the kind of thing I have come to expect from Zoho. I am forced to use this company for a handful of services at my company. If I started to tell you the idiocy I've had to put up with from these guys, I'd never stop ranting. I'll save it for DevRant.
The domain was registered over 22 years ago, and it kept moving through registrars who were acquired. We do have a solid record of reliable services, and have kept growing in spite of never taking a dime in outside capital.
Thank you for sharing your story. It should serve as a warning to others who may need to audit their infrastructure.

Correct, MarkMonitor is a _huge_ business. Alphabet has had an account there for much longer than they have been a Registrar under Google name.
How exactly was that story of a man owning Google.com through Google domains for a few minutes possible, then?

Hi Ted. This event seems to have been triggered from abuse complaints - and involved the registrar not reaching out to the client in question. Curiously enough, I had a very similar incident with Namecheap last week: an unsubstantiated email (without subpoena, judge's order, or even validation of who actually sent the email) - was sent to namecheap abuse /alleging/ (correct, no proof) trademark infringement. Namechea…
I obviously can't comment on this without any further information but I have to say that this sounds quite unusual. We have very strict policies regarding due process: https://www.namecheap.com/legal/general/court-order-and-subp... Can you shoot me an email? ted [at] namecheap.com
"Upon the receipt of a valid criminal subpoena, unless the circumstances or subpoena warrant otherwise, Namecheap may promptly notify the customer whose information is sought via email or U.S. mail"
Two things seem unclear:
1) The phrase "unless the circumstances or subpoena warrant otherwise"
2) The use of "may" in "may promptly notify the customer". Why is that not "shall" or "must"?

If I had to guess they're probably rejecting the message further because it likely contains the spam itself. This is a key error in their handling of their abuse@ address, it needs to be expected to receive spam.
