The length of time that records are cached is usually determined by the TTL see definition below set by the authoritative nameserver, but some Internet Service Providers may have their DNS servers set to cache records for a longer period of time. DNS Propagation This term is generally used to describe the time taken for the cache of nameservers to be updated after changes are made to a domain name's authoritative nameservers.
For example, after changing your domain's nameservers, the TLD nameserver may still direct queries to the old authoritative nameservers until it's cache has expired. DNS propagation is also used sometimes to describe the time taken for Internet Service Providers to update their own local DNS caches, since some Internet Service Providers do not always update their local cache based on the TTL of authoritative nameservers.

This is when a domain's registration is stolen from the proper registrant and likely transferred to another registrar making it very difficult for them to gain access back to the domain.
