Stolen LLLL.coms from GoDaddy Account

[-AR-]

On Sunday 15/11/2015 - Someone hacked into my Godaddy account and transferred 7 of my domains away from my account, please see the list below and do not buy any of them:

• B6F.COM
• MRRR.COM
• MFFF.COM
• B4Y.COM
• DYYE.COM
• LIEA.COM
• WDRA.COM

Please do not buy any of these domains.

The worse thing is that I have been trying for a whole week to get Godaddy to help me and I am going around in circles getting absolutely no help. Although the customer service people over the phone try and help but they say they have no authority to do much. All I get told to do is send emails to various departments and those departments tell me to contact other departments, this has turned out to be a very stressful experience. I would have through a company like Godaddy takes such cases more seriously.

Has anyone here got any experience with this and how I can get these domains back?

Thank you in advance for your help and support.

I wonder if you can do a legal hacking to get your domains back from his account?

As I stated on DomainGang, there needs to be a 'holding pattern' for names in dispute

Probably not. It is not enough to steal email, get password, you'd have to have that person's cell phone as well.

Is GD's 2step verification free to use worldwide?

This is the problem which has probably confused Godaddy in this scam, the person who stole the domains did not update the contact details. So they think its all fine because I show up in the Whois records. If that makes sense at all?

I think the real trouble occurs if your domains leave godaddy. once they are still within godaddy, I think this gives you a real good chance of recovery.

we read many stories of this happenign before, but I think in most cases the problem was the dn was transfered out imo

hope you get them back

maybe for people with the more valuable domains, there are more secure registrsrs.. with extra measures of security.. or what not.

or do people generally keep even extremely valuable dn at random registrars like the average domainer does these days for his less expensive assets? just wondering

Our Godaddy account was also hacked. We have retrieved most of the domains but 14491.com is still out there.

Please flag 14491.com as stolen and avoid it.

Thank you

I can see that - how long before we see ad from Godaddy: For an additional $10 per names we will actually protect your name from theft...

it should be free..
