Domain registration failure blogspot.in puts thousands of sites in the hands of cybercriminals

The free Google Blogger tool allows anyone on the web to access your site. However, this week in India, there were serious problems with the operation of the platform. Google reportedly forgot to renew the service's national domain registration, blogspot.in, used by cybercriminals, Internet cybercriminals who seize domain names to resell them to their rightful owners at an inflated price.
The blogspot.in domain is now reselling to 999. Indian platform user sites are still available on blogspot.com, however, when trying to access resources with the blogspot.in domain name, the page is not redirected to working version. Service users are extremely unhappy with this state of affairs. Some of them believe that a company at this level is simply required to follow the registration terms for their domains and hopes that the problem will be resolved soon. The online edition of BleepingComputer contacted Google for clarification, but there was no response from the search giant.
Meanwhile, the situation with the loss of Google's control over the blogspot.in domain can cause real damage to many Internet users. The fact is that if the company does not buy the domain, millions of URLs on the Web could be redirected to fraudulent sites that distribute malicious software or are used for phishing purposes.
No information has yet been received on whether Google will rescue the blogspot.in domain from cybersquatters who intercepted it.
