For the DDoS protection of incapsula it should be sufficient to change the DNS to theirs.
But their is no reason why bitstamp should disguise their whois entry

I do not think so.

Maybe it has something to do with the site being protected by incapsula ?

Many people seem to like bitstamp.net and it is said to be reputable.
Because of this I wanted to take a look at it.
But if you do a whois request for the domain name "bitstamp.net", you get the result:

So they use a whois-protection service. I ask myself: Why?
On the one hand, this makes a company looking dubious.
Furthermore, they have no reason to do that. In their imprint they mention the full name and address of the company. And the directors are already known.
