The domain name Tilt.com has been stolen from its legitimate owners, and is currently in the possession of the Greenberg & Lieberman law firm.
The thief appears to be from Montenegro; the sale to domain investor, James Booth, was halted once information emerged about the status of Tilt.com. James delivered the domain to Greenberg & Lieberman as a neutral keeper, until it’s returned to its legitimate owners.
How was Tilt.com, a former asset of Crowdtilt, stolen?
Apparently, the thief actually paid $17,000 dollars to acquire Crowdtilt.com on Afternic. That domain controlled Tilt.com via the email address tech@crowdtilt.com.
It’s a known method of domain hijacking that cybercriminals use in order to take over valuable domain names.
We will update this post with new details as they become available.
