http://www.dnforum.com/f26/domain-hijacker-prowl-thread-254944.html Today I had 150+ of my domains hijacked out of my godaddy account, a couple of the names I have listed here for sale. Godaddy is working with their fraud dept., My Lawyer, The FBI, and other organizations to correct the situation and to prosecute the party involved. They used multiple IP addresses when accessing my godaddy account and have also hijacked other domains recently from what I gather after talking to godaddy. They used an email address noobcash at yahoo dot com I searched it on google and got a hit that led to funytube dotcom - I did a whois on that domain and it is the same name that they used to steal my portfolio hosted with godaddy. see info like name used, where they host that domain etc.. http://whois.domaintools.com/funytube.com I have 2 possible leads to who it may be or may be involved. There is major damage done so far and more to come if not corrected tonight before the start of the business week. I want to let everyone know that is a DNF member to be very careful when dealing with people on any forum. I have never shared my passwords or anything knowinly and think I am pretty savvy enough to keep my accounts safe. No one is safe. Frequently change all of your passwords for your portfolio and watch for spyware, viruses, etc... Don't cross use your passwords, Like your DNF accound log-in shoudl be unique to DNF etc... If you have a very expensive portfolio liek I do (did and better get back fast) then you should use many levels of protection. If you think you are at risk be very very careful. This is a nightmare to say the least. I hope godaddy steps up and fixes this issue fast. I stand to loose a lot of money per day in incoming business from my sites (not all profit) but a couple days down will really piss me off. Anyway if anyone else has had an experience with this I invite feedback and support. The domains affected have already lost $$ and I live click to click to support my 6 kids and lifestyle. Be on the lookout. Anyway I am sure godaddy will see the scam here at hand - and reverse the domain disaster. I just hope they do it before all the names resolve to a new host of the domain bandit's choice and screw up some of my business. I have 3 main sites I use for most of my bread and butter. the three sites have a combo of about 95,000 members I plan on changing to another regist. after all of this and also replacing my main pc with a fresh one and updating all of my passwords and such... Hope I dont lose many customers.. William PS any domains I have listed on DNF are on pause as some of them (most) are in this web of Sh&t. Danny's note: Two years ago the SSAC issued 10 recommendations to deal with hijackings... have a look and see how many have been implemented (here's a clue, it's not a high number): http://www.icann.org/announcements/hijacking-report-12jul05.pdf __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
