security More stolen Godaddy domains: ERKZ.com and 4LQ.com

[News]

Ename is the de facto registrar of choice for Chinese domain hackers; once they steal domains, they move them to Ename, which is infamous for ignoring requests to return domains.

Two more domain names, ERKZ.com and 4LQ.com were stolen at GoDaddy and moved to Ename; their legitimate owner alerted us that both domains are still listed in his GoDaddy account under auction.

If you are approached to acquire 4LQ.com or ERKZ.com keep in mind they are currently stolen.

Is there no other recourse for when the registrar doesn't try to work with you? How can they be a verified registrar if this is the case?

I had a domain name that I registered that was up for auction on godaddy. I called them and the auction was removed for me and the rep said there account was gonna be deleted.

Alright, just simply avoid downloading stuff from the internet. There is a lot of keyloggers and rats that can bypass your antivirus with a hacker program where you can crypt a file and the virus will pass undectable. This happens a lot on top major shared forums where people share stuff that other people are looking for and they simply crypt the file.

I recommend anyone to use malwarebytes, ccleaner and advanced systemcare and avoid downloading stuff from torrents, forums and sites.

Also always make sure the domain is from the godaddy official website, I received a few fake emails. Do not click on any links sent from godaddy emails, just make sure it is from godady. You can always contact godaddy from their official website or number if there is any issue about your account just don´t click the #links#
