Tell HN: Cloudflare prevents transfer-out of domains, sets to 'pendingdelete'
Hello,<p>I’m the Head of Trust &amp; Safety at Cloudflare. I wanted to clarify our processes, which were described inaccurately in this Hacker News post.<p>As part of our standard fraud review process, domains determined to be malicious registrations&#x2F;transfers may be deleted. In those cases, we typically take steps to notify the account holder so that they can contest the determination if appropriate. Cloudflare allows transfers of domains out of Cloudflare’s registrar immediately, unless there are indications of potentially malicious or fraudulent activity.  Cloudflare follows the standard industry practice followed by virtually all domain registrars of blocking the transfer out of domains deleted for what appears to be potentially malicious purposes.
