Domain hijacked
Hello folks please if I have any sites on your LL under adult-stories.com please remove them. My domain was hijacked and I am working with cyberwurx in trying to recover it. Do not send this bastard any traffic. my other domains are fine it appears.
sorry for the inconvience. if anyone can help with this let me know. thanx soggy |
How was it hijacked? Through fooling the registrar I guess, or what?
I hate hearing these things because the registrar and hosts are the key ingredients to online business. How can someone possibly fake their way into a reputable companies mind or whatever and "hijack" a domain? It's just amazing to me.. |
Good luck getting it back Soggy :(

Godaddy... why am I not shocked? It is getting more and more obvious that there is some sort of security breach over there, either software or in the warmware.
Either way, if I had ANY domains there, I would be running away at high speed. Alex |
Did you have this domain on lock status?
|
aww
im sorry to hear that soggy :( back 2+ years ago i had ALL 4 of my domains hijacked, i managed to get ONE back... the other 3 the hijacker put on godaddy, and they wouldnt do shit for me.
the one i got back the hijacker put on registerfly, and with i think 2 emails, they had the president of registerfly talking to me, and within hours i had my domain back. best of luck to you, that shit sucks... i literally went hungry for quite some time because of the theft, the only thing that saved me was the very few rebills i had. |
why is it always godaddy? that sucks, good luck getting it back!
cheers, Luke |
The domain was not on godaddy. The request for tranfer was done thru godaddy. I had it regestered thru chris at cyberwurx. I regester all my domains thru cyberwurx.

Well how can that happen? If someone requests through godaddy or anywhere that my registrar transfer my domain somewhere else, why would they do it?
Did they impersonate you or something? That seems like something inexcusable to me :( |

Damn man that blows hard :(
Best of luck getting it back then kicking several asses.. |
I think I know how he did it.
I owned pensacolacoffee.com at one time and let it expire. My contact email dave@pensacolacoffee.com was associated with my other domain adult-stories.com. Seems he registered pensacolacoffee.com and sent an email to it from godaddy authorizing a change and approved it himself. Do I have a prayer on getting this back? soggy |
well after tracking him down and a handfull of threating email he has turned over the domain back to me. I have chris at cyberwurx helping as well getting it back up and running.

Wow. Excellent news soggy. After reading last night's post about the expired domain email I was thinking it would be damn hard to get it back. Sounds like you and Chris really know how to put fear in to the guitly. :D Good job.

hmm
congrats soggy!! you faired much better then i did in this situation :)
The way my domains got stolen, was signing up for a new sponsor, i had never heard of them, but never been fucked over by anyone. so, i had to give them my name/pass and domains to sign up (like most sponsors) I was a bit stupid back then and used the same password for the sponsor as i used at the registrar, the day after i signed up for this sponsor all my domains were gone. use different passwords for every place!! or atleast a crazy password for the registrar. anyways, im very happy for you soggy, i was hoping this wouldnt turn out like it could have. |
Thats great :) way to go |roses|
|
i just have to give one more shoutout to chris and the gang at cyberwurx. they are a great host and customer support can not be topped. they have been very helpful with this problem of mine.

The moral of the story? Make sure your domain registration records are 100% up to date. :-)
WTG Soggy! Wanna trade some links? :-) Alex |
Congrats soggy ! Stories like that makes me wanna change the password every day :(
