AWS Route53 documentation change

Service: Route53 · 2026-05-22 · Documentation low

File: Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/domain-click-email-link.md

Summary

Added guidance about safe verification email links (amazon.registrar/verify-whois) and TLD-specific email variations

Security assessment

Proactively educates users about legitimate verification links to prevent phishing risks, but doesn't address a specific vulnerability. Adds security documentation by identifying trusted domains.
