One has to wonder - why is it still ICANN policy to limit domain name contract terms to a maximum of ten years?

With all the safeguards in use, that's really surprising.

Sonoma Valley Hospital’s website was hacked earlier this month, forcing the change of its URL and email addresses, hospital officials announced last week.
On Tuesday, Aug. 6, at 6:30 p.m., the hospital’s domain svh.com was “maliciously acquired,” said Celia Kruse de la Rosa, the hospital’s communications director.
Hospital CEO Kelly Mather added: “The hijacking of our domain name was surprising and we are finding out, not unusual for highly valuable three letter domain names such as ‘svh.com.’”
When it became apparent that the hospital would not get the domain name returned, they “began migrating all internet connectivity to the new and current domain: sonomavalleyhospital.org (web) and @sonomavalleyhospital.org (email),” de la Rosa said.
