Many thanks Dr. Alan Greenberg. Realistic Possibility: If the domain is shifted to another registrar after getting stolen, can one do anything at all ? A case study: A domain was originally purchased in early 2011 from a US-based domain registrar. The company got in transition multiple times and got split in multiple child companies, a few acquisitions and again some split for country-wise branches during which this domain information got misplaced, rather lost. This flaw was exploited and somehow bought the domain and put it up on an auction. It took full 90 days to repair the damage.

In our discussions related to the Transfer Policy PDP, the issue of domain hyjacking and other nefarious actions has come up often, with some people claiming it is a major issue and others that it is not. I just cam across an interesting tidbit.
If you register a domain with GoDaddy, one of the things that pops up (encouraging you to purchase a service from them) is the attached image.
I have no idea where the statistic of 170,000 attempted domain thefts per year comes from.
