In order to have your own domain, you need to pay some money and share some personal information with a domain name registrar.This information is then publicly available, unless you choose to make it private through your registrar. Unfortunately for some domains, like ones that end in .us - keeping this information private is prohibited.Unfortunately, I didn't realize this and registered a .us domain, sharing publicly my name, email address, and phone number. It was a great invitation for hackers and scammers to harass me.Call to actionShare your story of being hacked, scammed or tricked online.
