Yeah, MarkMonitor is not going to have a good time on this one (they're the company Google, and a bunch of other high-profile companies) use for domain management and tracking. They're supposed to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

If the expiration was in July, how could it possibly have been Google's mistake that it got sold months before it expired?

It's not known whether it was a mistake.

MarkMonitor has been purchased by OpSecSecurity: https://www.opsecsecurity.com/resource/press-release/opsec-s...

I wonder if this has anything to do.

MarkMonitor's domain registrar component was not acquired (per the link).
