Domain name transfer risk mitigation

A system, comprising a server, comprising a hardware computing device coupled to a network and including at least one processor executing instructions within memory which, when executed, cause the system to:

• identify:
• a historical status based on at least one characteristic of a domain name or a user account within a historical data or the user account stored in a database at the time of a registration of the domain name;
• a current status based on a modification of a pattern of use associated with an administration or management of the domain name or the user account, and
• calculate a risk factor for a request to transfer a registration of the domain name received from a Graphical User Interface (GUI) component within a GUI displayed on a user device, the risk factor indicating a level of malicious behavior related to the domain name, based on the modification;
• transfer the request to a queue for at least one manual review, responsive to:
• the risk factor indicating a high level risk of malicious behavior,
• receiving a user input result from the at least one manual review indicating that the request is a high level risk request,
• an unavailability of the registrant using a contact stored in the database in association with the user account, or
• a response via the contact that the request is not a valid request;
• and
• transfer the registration according to the request, responsive to:
• the risk factor indicating that the request is a low level risk request,
• receiving the user input result from the at least one manual review indicating that the request is the low level risk request, or
• the response via the contact that the request is a valid request.

A method, comprising

• identifying, by a server comprising a hardware computing device coupled to a network and including at least one processor executing instructions within memory:
• a historical status based on at least one characteristic of a domain name or a user account within a historical data or the user account stored in a database at the time of a registration of the domain name;
• a current status based on a modification of a pattern of use associated with an administration or management of the domain name or the user account, and
• calculating, by the server, a risk factor for a request to transfer a registration of the domain name received from a Graphical User Interface (GUI) component within a GUI displayed on a user device, the risk factor indicating a level of malicious behavior related to the domain name, based on the modification;
• transferring, by the server, the request to a queue for at least one manual review, responsive to:
• the risk factor indicating a high level risk of malicious behavior,
• receiving a user input result from the at least one manual review indicating that the request is a high level risk request,
• an unavailability of the registrant using a contact stored in the database in association with the user account, or
• a response via the contact that the request is not a valid request;
• and
• transferring, by the server, the registration according to the request, responsive to:
• the risk factor indicating that the request is a low level risk request,
• receiving the user input result from the at least one manual review indicating that the request is the low level risk request, or
• the response via the contact that the request is a valid request.
