[gnso-irtpd] Example email string

[Volker Greimann]

Hi Kristine,

the FOA can be obtained in various ways, but the most common one is an 
email sent to the registrant or admin  email address containing a 
trigger that must be responded to in some fashion. So the transfer would 
have to be authorized by someone controlling the email account of the 
registrant.

So in order to effectuate a fraudulent transfer the hacker would either 
have to have access to the email account of the registrant, or to have 
changed the email address in the whois prior to the transfer, an action 
that will be made much more difficult once ITRP-C is implemented.

Best,

Volker
> I can appreciate the concern here.  I'm not a registrar, so I don't understand the nuances of transfer, but I do understand an FOA is needed.  What if (and I don't know in this case, I'm talking generally), the FOA was fraudulent and the registrar "didn't suspect" fraud. I use quotes because I am asking (honestly, not rhetorically) what prevents a registrar from simply "not noticing" fraud?  Does a registrar do any sort of validity check or "well, the request came from an authorized email account so who am I to ask questions"?
