No match for "VESTIGIAL3HAD.COM". What gives ? How can their be no whois info anywhere ?
How about the following... (note that just because someone is using someone as their authoritative name server doesn't mean that the other people (in this case kronuna.biz) have anything to do with it...

Read NANOG archives - Verisign now allows immediate (well, within about 10
minutes) updates of .com/.net zones (also same for .biz) while whois data
is still updated once or twice a day. That means if spammer registers new
domain he'll be able to use it immediatly and it'll not yet show up in
whois (and so not be immediatly identifiable to spam reporting tools) -
and spammers are in fact using this "feature" more and more!
You can also make whois information private, usually for an additional fee.
