Description

Identifies when the transfer lock on an AWS Route 53 domain is disabled. The transfer lock protects domains from being moved to another registrar or AWS account without authorization. Disabling this lock removes an important safeguard against domain hijacking. Adversaries who gain access to domain-management permissions may disable the lock as a precursor to unauthorized domain transfer, takeover, or service disruption.
