Here's a good one: https://susam.in/

Stumbled on this when his domain was hijacked accidentally due to an anti-botnet operation and his post about it came on HN (check the "Sinkholed" post). Since then I've subscribed to his blog, read the older posts and enjoyed the newer posts too.

He mostly posts about technology and mathematics. The reason why I got hooked to this blog is that they are mostly about offbeat topics that I wouldn't normally come across on my own. So there is something new to learn from every post. And they are very well written with great attention to detail.

Pretty scary stuff for domain buyers!

How does a domain get hijacked accidentally? Don't domain transfers take a few days and require approval from current domain owner?

The blog post states that the domain was erroneously flagged as belonging to a botnet system by a German law enforcement org, which took control of the domain to "sinkhole" what they assumed was botnet traffic.

Presumably the approval was the accident. (Or not renewing yet, so perhaps no approval necessary.)

Also, 'transfer locks' are a good idea, but not supported by all TLDs.
