A growing and costly bottleneck in domain name investing today is the persistent weakness in naming strategies around AI, machine learning, and broader technology trends.

Among the many operational bottlenecks that plague domain name investors, few are as dangerous, underestimated, and potentially devastating as phishing and SIM-swap vulnerabilities.
