Custom domains aren't secure though, it's probably the most vulnerable and easiest point of attack

Any decent registrar should force 2fa on request. Also long dns ttl and monitoring!
What is that?
Usually social engineering the domain registrar into transferring the domain.
So Google's approach to customer support is a security feature?
No, using Hotmail or Gmail prevents dns hijacking.

The answer he gave you was correct. The interpretation wasn't

No, it prevents social engineering.
This is where Google as a domain registrar really shines. :-P
You can lock it though.
Mine is. And it's all 2FA'd up. That was a part of the "Take Responsibility for your Own Stuff: For Dummies" guide I followed.

I imagine it would be easier to socially engineer a cellphone store employee and get a SIM to do a SMS-based password reset for a Google/Microsoft/Apple email account than it would be to hijack my domain.

Do you have a link to the guide you mentioned?
I'd like to see this guide too, please.
