Three of domain names stolen...
Earlier on today I had to find out that some motherfucker has stolen 3 domain names that were registered to me till July 2004, November and January 2005 respectively.
The 3 domains in question are: AdultWebmastersOnline.com , FetishCrawler.com and FreeFetish4U.com . I had the LinkAdmin script running on the last 2. The guy somehow got hold of the password of my account admin at my registrar, introduced his own email address and transferred away the domains... Have any of you had a similar bad experience? What would you recommend me to do in order to recuperate my domains? Any tips or suggestions are more than welcome... By the way, for those of you who run a link directory, I had some free and avs sites on freefetish4u.com, but their urls are all redirecting to the main domain url now. As you will understand, that was not my intention nor am I able to change it right now |

The fact is that I had the same password for both of them, but not the same login. Quote:
I phoned GoDaddy and they said that there was nothing they could do about it. They recommended me to report the case to ICANN. |

Why is it that whenever shit like this happens it is almost always GoDaddy?

This is total bullshit. It is absolutely the registrars' fault.
If someone hacked into my online banking and withdrew my savings to their account, I'd take my bank to the cleaners! But registrars are obviously above the law. I hope someone here can help you. |

Am I right about this...I just checked the whois and the nameservers are for www.cyberwurx.com
If this is right, can't we contact cyberwurx and find out who this fucker is? |

I'm not interested in the facts, I'm interested in my opinion.

Someone tried to do that to me at Network Solutions about 5 years ago. (And a bunch of other sites as well at the same time.)
They only got as far as changing the contacts. When I saw the changes go through I contacted NetSol ASAP and after 3 days and about 15 hours on the phone, I got it all straight. The DNS never got switched, so I never fully lost control of the website. It pissed me off to no end and it was a long 3 days of bullshit. Network Solutions changed their security since then and I've had no problems. I've heard nothing but bad things from GoDaddy as well. I have no domains there. Be careful about threatening a lawsuit. I have read in other threads that some registrars phone people are told to hang up on people if a lawsuit is mentioned. I would have a lawyer call them directly. |

Do you guys think that changing u/p at your cpanel frequently should help preventing such problems ?

Locking you domain is the easiest and best way to protect it from theft.

By the way, I phoned GoDaddy to explain my case and see what they could do about it. This was their reply: "We can´t do anything to change that. The domain names in question are registered by another person, and as such his property is protected by the law..." lol So, does the law protect thieves? According to GoDaddy it does! My other registrar, AllDomains.com, can only be reached Mo-Fri 08.00 am to 05.00 pm. Sounds like another joke. This makes me proceed to step 3 move all my domains to another registrar. Any suggestions? I have read some good comments about DirectNic. Another question: I am not sure, but it might be that someone hacked into my email software to obtain registrar login info. Can any of you recommend me a good and cheap (if possible free) firewall software? And finally, to MrMaryLou, I had 2 copies of the LinkAdmin script installed on 2 of those stolen domains. Would it be possible to get those moved to a couple of my other domains? |

bulkregister.com
A little more expensive than some, but has nice security features, easy interfaces, and they support their customers. |

http://www.domaindiscover.com/ is where I have been for years. They notify several times when a domain is about to expire. Starting about 90 days prior.
You can do bulk changes to all your domains with a couple clicks, including locking them. I think they are competitively priced, but I really don't know as I said I've been with them for a while. |

Sorry to hear about your domains. Hope everything gets fixed but until then if your looking for a good registrar I would go with DirectNi. They may be a little higher than the cheaper domain companies but its worth the money not have these types of problems.
Good Luck dubb |

I love these threads
I had 17 names hacked, hijacked and stolen from GoDaddy about 18 months ago maybe, they claim they were not at fault and that more then likely I was keylogged. Two firewalls up, I doubt it. Alot of the names were with me, I belive before they had their lock system, in which I didnt even no about it, the hacker, changed the email to a hotmail email, so I would never even get the notice saying my names were being transferred. The only thing GoDaddy had to say was dispute it with ICANN, at what $1500 a pop x17 = $25,500? All lawyers I contacted wanted about the same, then the fucking hacker tried to get $7000 out of me after I found him myself, through google cache, and about 10 alias'. I found personal web pages, ICQ numbers, cell phone numbers, alternative emails, ebay accounts, over 40 pages of printed material pointing to him. With all that shit in paper, I contact, many government organizations, for cyber crime, local DA, and AZ DA (where GoDaddy is lcoated.) None of which helped me, the PA cyber crime unit was a joke, I out talked them and lost them in conversation 1 sentence in. Well to make a long story short, FUCK GoDaddy, and I just took the loss. |

Ouch...that sucks XXXtreme
I've read some of these horror stories about godaddy for a while now...don't know how they stay in biz letting crap like this happen =/ You asked about DirectNic...they're certainly not the cheapest these days. But, I've been using them for over 3 years and several dozen domains without a hitch. Had a couple .biz domains that didn't register properly...a quick phone call and DirectNic staff got it fixed right away. Bottom line...I like em |

AllDomains.com is just a godaddy reseller by the looks... I'm not 100% sure of the system these scammers use but believe they work by gaining control of your email account first in many cases..
Could that be your security hole? Godaddy's "no responsibilty" attitude whilst providing a system they well know is open to compromise sucks.. I hope they fuck over the right politician soon and get some laws brought on to fix what seems to be turning into a bit of a cowboy industry. |
