The accusation being made is that domain availability searches are not being kept private and this data is either being sold or somehow obtained by other registration companies. You carry out your domain research and then return to find the domain mysteriously registered.
While this is easy enough if you set up your own domain availability tool, these accusations are being leveled at some of the best known Registrars in the industry.
ICANN is now set to investigate this phenomenon, which they have termed "Domain name front running" to prevent the "perception from evolving to accepted wisdom.".

That's nothing compared to the outright hijacking going on by registrars!
(See http://WHOShouldBe.com)
I don't agree that Registrar's auctioning off their expired domains is hijacking. I can't speak for the other Registrars but at Tucows they give an extra 35 days on the usual 40 after expiry, in which time the original registrant can pay to reclaim their domain. Considering most Registrars or domain resellers send out expiry notices at 90/60/30/1 day intervals that’s a huge window in which to retain your domain.
