Nope, they could just remove the DS since they are the registrar for that domain. DNSSEC only protects against a DNS 
provider going rogue, not your own hired registrar.


DNSSEC would help DNS for the non-expired domain because the rogue
server would not have the key.

To my mind, though, Netsol's server should not be responding with
authoritative answers to random domains that aren't assigned to it.
That it does makes me think it's a good candidate for black-holing in
the routing system.
