SOS! My domain was stolen at Enom!

[dndriver]

I find today one of my domain is no longer mine!
the expriation date is Jan 2009 and it shows it was transferred out Dec 2008 to an chinese registrar.

One weakness of domain name is that it is at an active status, it is to say it is not registrar-lock. But I do now receive any email showing it is transferring out.

How can I do? thank you!

Is it a .COM, .NET, .ORG, etc that requires an Authcode? If yes, then your eNom account was likely hijacked - check your computer for spyware.

An authcode is required for transfer-out regardless of status for .COM, .NET, .ORG domains.

It's very likely your admin email account, especially if it's a yahoo or gmail, was hacked and they got your eNom password and/or your computer has spyware / rootkit installed to send usernames/passwords to hackers.

Call eNom and tell them the transfer out was unauthorized, and you want the domain returned.

Spyware is something I always worry about. Does aybody know of a good anti spyware program?

I think the best starting point is to use Firefox with NoScript at a bare minimum. It is very handy to make sure harmful scripts do not get loaded.

When I am doing end user research I browse through so many websites where you have no clue what you will find, so it really helps.
