Thanks. I had additional questions before logging into my account. Is that the same as 2FA?

No, 2fa would be a text, call, or the use of Google Authenticator on your mobile device containing a one time use pin that needs to be entered each time you login. I'd suggest using it in the future; and start now to protect your current names. That is, if it's available at your registrar. If not, move to a place that does, such as Uniregistry.

OK, that's a bit different than I thought. I will defnitely do that and also will turn privacy on. However I am locked out of my Enom account currently, so I'll do it once I have control over my account again.

Thanks,

This.

2FA is a must have. Go to every registrar you have domains with and if they have the feature, turn it on!

Unbelievably "helpful" response I received from Namesilo. Can't believe they are actually saying this:

We will not keep replying with the same information. For the last time, you need to work through Enom. You have no affiliation with our company and have never been a Registrant in our system. We therefore have no standing to get involved on your behalf. Feel free to send this to anyone else you like, but the answer will not change, and we will not continue replying with the same instructions. Sorry you do not like our answer, but that does not mean it will change.

Thanks,

I did that already and they are on it. I want Namesilo to look into it as well. I am sending this to Chris McCurry as well.

But the domain was fraudulently transferred from Enom to Namesilo?

Sorry to hear @fattee77, hope all ends well.

I had no idea that even in an industry (established and worth billions) where a digital paper-trail exists, there is no solution to remedy a dispute like theft. I would imagine an example of something like:

If ownership is queried, the complainant legally reports the issue with local authorities, then provide the "case number" to the current registrar. The onus then lies on the new DN owner "if DN was acquired in the last x-amount of days" to provide the necessary proof-of-purchase for the DN, within x-amount of days - failure of which would result in the DN returned to previous owner, who will need to provide last proof-of-payment (we all simply keep record of our proof-of-payments).

Small price to pay in the form of inconvenience, when compared to being a victim of daylight robbery where everyone standing by can do nothing but observe. Anyway, what a lesson for a newbie like me

@David Walker, would enabling the 2fa be a guarantee (done and dusted implementation) that one's domain name is secure (provided that one's actual mobile phone is not stolen)?

Thank you for all the selfless contributions from all participants in this thread, very refreshing.

Thanks Clint. Still waiting for reply from the involved parties.

How did they get into your account?

I am not sure yet

 

[ProDomanico]

I am not sure yet

Possibly you would be using the same password on multiple domain registration sites.. ( OR ) run a keylogger on your computer.
Now a days anything is possible in the cybernet.

 

[fattee77]

did you have special questions setup on your enom account as security prior to logging in?

Extra security questions

No lawyers are affordable. Better to just get a good one with history in the field. He can take 1 day while a cheap lawyer may take months. Ask for history of what they have done in the past.

 

[fattee77]

Anybody know what it says?

Thanks for the tip btw @Kassey Lee

 

[fattee77]

I hope you get back your domain name..
I just help you with some pray...

Thanks @bRionZ

 

[fattee77]

Good news. Thanks all

 

[Dorkside]

Good news. Thanks all

Does that mean you were able to recover the domain?

 

[fattee77]

how Far have you got with the domain recovery @fattee77

Well, I am in contact with an attorney and I am exploring the options

 

[ninjadomain]

Please update.

 

[ZapNano]

We domainers has zero control or power to stop these thirsty thieves. Registras, ICANN and registries, please do something about this issues. Criminal act need to stop? Thanks.

 

[Acroplex]

Is the domain stolen still?
