Note that a big weak point in the DNS is the interface between the registrars and the registry. If you have a domain you have to trust the registry to impose suitable restrictions on its registrars to prevent a dodgy registrar from stealing your domain.

Just in case anybody missed it, ups.com, theregister.co.uk, and others were hijacked in this way last week. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/05/dns_hijack_service_updated/ Marcus
