We Spent $20 To Achieve RCE And Accidentally Became The Admins Of .MOBI

As part of our research, we discovered that a few years ago the WHOIS server for the .MOBI TLD migrated from whois.dotmobiregistry.net to whois.nic.mobi – and the dotmobiregistry.net domain had been left to expire seemingly in December 2023.

Putting thoughts aside, and actions first, we punched credit card details as quickly as possible into our domain registrar to acquire dotmobiregistry.net - representing much better value than the similarly priced bottle of water that sat next to us.
