Domain thieves are preying on valuable domain names.
Another day, another stolen domain; CCT.com has been reported as stolen by an active member of DNForum.
The domain’s lawful owner, Mr. Dean Vlahos, confirmed that the current status of CCT.com is not legitimate.
Registered at Network Solutions, CCT.com appears to have been pushed to another NetSol account around December 12th; that’s when the WHOIS information changes from that of Mr. Vlahos, according to DomainTools.
Currently, CCT.com displays the following WHOIS information, to an individual in China:
Registrant Name: Shang, Liang
Registrant Organization:
Registrant Street: QiXing Rood,NanNing,GuangXI.
Registrant City: NanNing
Registrant State/Province: GuangXI
Registrant Postal Code: 53000
Registrant Country: CN
Registrant Phone: +86-18688258703
Registrant Phone Ext:

It is not clear at this point, whether this is the contact info of the domain thief, or someone who just recently acquired the stolen domain CCT.com from the thief.
Domain theft originating in China has reached epic proportions this year. Do not acquire domains without performing a thorough investigation of ownership.
