..."hijacking of every non-existent domain name in existence."

..."non-existent ... in existence."

Several people have said things like that in recent times.  Including
me, I'll bet.

What exactly does it mean?

(Yes, I know.  We are talking about the fact that strings submitted for
lookup that have not been registered as names would not be cause an
error to be returned.  And that is clearly a lot more words, if not a
clearer description of the problem.  We need a wordsmith to give us a
short string that can be converted into a useful TLA.)
