Domain Hijacking? It can happen to anybody.

This one mail I received today:

" A request has been received to transfer the domain tapert.com away from the Registrar OpenSRS.
This request was entered at 20-JAN-2005 16:58:01 by Moniker Online Services, Inc"

"If we do not hear from you by Tue Jan 25 16:58:01 2005, the transfer will proceed."

wow

I declined of course by clicking the correct choice.

If you dont check your email for about 5 days there is pretty good chance your domain name will be stolen.

My request to moniker support about who tried to hijack my domain, oh wonder was unanswered.

I would say about 35% of domains remain unlocked and are at risk to be stolen.

I dont know who makes decisions at ICANN, these guys must be outsourced from a how-works-a-hairdryer call center.

In November ICANN opened the gates for such kind of criminal acts and nobody prevented them from doing so.
