AWS Route53: Route53: clarify ownership-change authorization and suspension risk
Summary
Replaced 'Service interruption risk' notes with 'Important' notes stating the authorization email may be sent, the change request may be cancelled, and that failure to confirm email verification may result in domain suspension; updated the pre-change checklist item accordingly.
Security assessment
Documents the authorization/verification workflow for registrant contact and ownership changes, including the consequence of domain suspension for unconfirmed verification. This is security-adjacent operational guidance (domain ownership protection) rather than remediation of a specific vulnerability.
Evidence
+If the change triggers email verification and you don't confirm within 3-15 days (depending on your TLD), we may suspend your domain, which can interrupt your website and email services.
