Domain names are getting stolen more often than what you think.
An emotionally charged thread over at Web Hosting Talk (WHT), unveils the unnecessary saga domain owners endure, in order to reclaim ownership of stolen domains.
User “crazysheep118”, whose first language doesn’t appear to be English, stated:
“my domain been stolen in enom . the hack stolen my enom account first .and push all my domains to his enom account .and transfer the some of domin to godaddy，all of these are not allowed from me，his action is not under my permit，i did not know everything untill i receive the email，but it’s too late ，he already stolen my all domin.the account help of enom has prove my account has been stolen and return for me . but the transfer dispute didn`t help me to find the transfered domains.
they say ” It has been determined that the transfer of the domains are valid transactions as per ICANN Transfer Policy and Regulations, As records show that the transfers were authorized by the listed registrant of the domain at the time of transfer, we have no recourse to dispute the transfers under ICANN’s current regulations. “
OF COURSE! My account has already stolen by hacker, when hacker transferred my domains, it’s surely by the hacker’s authorized. Like who stolen my home key, when he enter my home,is it legal?
these domin name is very important for me, it’s all of my total property,if can`t return and i want to die.”
The commentary ranges from advice on using ICANN’s registrar to registrar reversal process, to comments supporting eNom’s stance on determining this domain theft was “legitimate.”
Unfortunately, domain owners that do not have ample financial resources and legal support are not able to bypass resistance from certain domain registrars.
The return of the stolen domain name See.com to its owner, is still pending.
