I've had this same scenario happen before, and since then I just issue a `whois` from the command line to bypass any potential frontend interception. Not sure if that is 100% full proof either though.

I have used whois cli since the early 2000s because I did not trust the registrars as domains I just searched ended up being registered. Never had that issue again since then.
Isn't the WHOIS query sent unencrypted? Can't it be intercepted in that case?
