The formerly stolen domain, JUX.com, has been returned to its legitimate owner, entrepreneur Mr. Chris Mismash.
JUX.com was moved away from GoDaddy in February, without its owner’s authorization.
Such domain theft incidents can take several weeks to resolve, and in this case the cybercriminal was a Chinese national, who moved it to the HiChina Registrar.
GoDaddy has been effective in preventing unlawful transfers and assisting with the return of stolen domain assets, after a wave of domain theft in 2014 and 2015.
A recent discussion on domain security was hosted by the GoDaddy security team, focusing on the best practices domain owners should implement to keep their domains safe.
If you are the victim of domain theft, we can be of help.
