[Hidden-tech] Domain dispute

[Alan Fleming]

Did the original owner allow the registration to lapse? It is not uncommon
to lose a domain, even google.com was lost in /2015 and someone noticed,
registered it, and got paid from google to get it back, all within a matter
of minutes:

But there are tools that look for the 'Who Is' history of a domain:

Hopefully the original owner didnt use privacy settings that would hide
their info from a who is lookup, but otherwise this should be able to help
in determining when ownership changed.
