I'm thinking of creating a website for a friend. This includes registering a domain name and setting up a couple email addresses ([email protected], etc.)
If the friend doesn't maintain the domain registration, and the domain falls into the hands of a nefarious actor, how can I protect my friends email addresses?
If I'm not mistaken, it is a common tactic to register a defunct domain name and impersonate the associated email addresses.
What can be done to avoid this?
