Afternic is now the default nameservers I have set for my newly registered domain namesat GoDaddy, figuring my infrequent hand registered domain names will be priced under $2k from the get go. Soon after registering these domain names, I added them to my Afternic account, where they are priced at $999 – $1,999/each. Shortly thereafter, I noticed a new heading in my Afternic account: “Pending Sync.”I reached out to my helpful account manager at Afternic, and he told me he will try to get it resolved. I previously had all 29 domain names Pending Sync. I wasn’t sure, but when I clicked on the question mark in my Afternic control panel, this was explained:As a result of these domain names “Pending Sync,” the Afternic landing page that says, “This domain is registered, but may still be available.” is now showing for these domain names.

Russian intelligence agents are on a mission “to generate mayhem on British and European streets,” Britain’s spy chief said Tuesday in a wide-ranging speech that also warned of a rising threat from Iran and new efforts by the Islamic State to export terrorism.

But Russian state actors have recently turned to private intelligence operatives and criminals to carry out missions, a development that, Mr. McCallum said, has reduced the professionalism of their operations.
