Wall Street Journal: Domain Theft news story

[rudyhernandez]

A good article on the Wall Street Journal.
Small interviews with Monte Cahn, CEO of Moniker & Bob Parsons, CEO of GoDaddy.
Story has to do with people hijacking other people's registered domain names.

If you've got a few seconds to spare I'd check it out.
Thanks!

is the domain in question actually "yyy.com" ? if so, i think he has it back as its no longer regged to a german server

Hey Lord,
I was thinking the same thing about if the domain in question was really YYY.com.
Also noticed it's no longer registered under a foreign registrar.

Yes, my domain has been hijacking before, It took me for 3weeks to get my domain back. It was in moniker account.

The article points that some are taken because they know the email of the person who owns the name. Lol, we always give out emails even in this forum when a person buys a name.

yeah, but if he doesn own it, then yyy.com leans to some... login page =)
