Someone in the Zoom company management forgot to update the billing credit card for that domain, I bet you $1000. Happens all the time with our clients.

The entire point of MarkMonitor is that won't happen.

Except while it probably wasn’t a credit card expiry it did result in the domain being suspended. Looks pretty bad for MarkMonitor. They didn’t do the “monitor” part of their name.
