legal GPZ.com : Stolen three letter domain was reclaimed using UDRP

[News]

Although the UDRP process is not suitable for such instances of cybercrime, there have been several cases where stolen domains were recovered using the process.

The Complainant, GPZ Technology, Inc. stated that it is a United States company that is a leader in customized software solutions and development and uses the GPZ mark in connection with its goods and services.

The domain GPZ.com was originally registered by Complainant on March 12, 1996. Complainant owned it and actively used it in its business from that date then until early in 2015. Between January 1, 2015 and February 12, 2015 and established on the evidence, a third party believed to be Respondent, hacked Complainant’s computer system and as a result the registration of the domain name was transferred to Respondent.

The respondent failed to provide a response, and the single panelist, Neil Anthony Brown, ordered the domain to be transferred to the Complainant.

Sounds like a pretty open and shut case to me, lol. Glad to hear they won the case and got their domain back, though!
