A portfolio of 27 five number (NNNNN) .com domains was stolen yesterday.
Its owner, Ms. Leigh Ann Barrick, a real estate broker, contacted us about the incident.
The domains were transferred out of her GoDaddy account by an individual in China, and were moved to a Chinese registrar.
Luckily, that wasn’t Ename, a Chinese domain registrar notorious for its resistance to domain transfer reversal requests.
The following list of domains was stolen and is currently in the process of being reclaimed:

I hope Ms. Barrick will be able to reclaim these domain names.
Did Ms. Barrick have 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) enabled?
Aaron – Obviously, she did not.
She has 2FA enabled now. These guys were in my account at the same time I was as well as Go Daddy. No matter how fast we were working, they worked faster. The moment I received an alert I was on it. These domains have been mine for 7 plus years – heartbreaking to watch these hijackers in action
