Explanation

The extract represents the information for the new domain name from WHOIS. The extract clearly shows that his personal data has been published in association with the new domain, which represents the most likely sources of the phone calls. These should be changed to remove the number and put a generic email address. Although the data may have been published by parties external to the company or on a new website, these are not necessarily linked to the new Internet domain. The management of the WHOIS data is usually the responsibility of the company registering the domain name and they can change it themselves.
