Several four letter .com domains were reported as stolen by their owner; the LLLL .com domains were moved to a separate account at GoDaddy.
The theft occurred on November 15th, and it involved the following domain names:
- DYYE.COM
- LIEA.COM
- WDRA.COM
- MRRR.COM
- MFFF.COM
In addition to these, B6F.COM and B4Y.COM were also stolen.
Short domains are currently being resold among Chinese domain investors, in a frenzy that has driven prices upwards; Chao Mi is a statistical tool that keeps track of such pricing trends on Chinese market places.
The high frequency of domain theft requires counter-measures to be in place: always enable two-factor authentication at your domain registrar.
If your domain got stolen, let us know; we report such incidents to a large domain base of investors.

You are doing a fine job for innocent domain holders. Yes, most domain holders become helpless and at a loss when they are faced with this kind of frustrating issue. I am not sure if this kind of theft occurs only because the domain holders fail to take any necessary careful measures such as 2fa, etc.
I think everyone needs to voice their concerns to Icann …….. make your voice heard
We were able to get them back for him. I do encourage everyone to use 2fa. And agree that your coverage has been very helpful for people with stolen domains.
Good work Joe ….again
