Hackers break .mobi after Whois domain expires

> Identity Digital, which now runs .mobi after a series of acquisitions, originally used whois.dotmobiregistry.net for its Whois server, but this later changed to whois.nic.mobi and the original domain expired last December.

> WatchTowr spotted this, registered the name, and set up a Whois server there, which went on to receive 2.5 million queries from 135,000 systems in less than a week.
