More stolen domains: ERKZ.com and 4LQ.com were snatched from GoDaddy

Ename is the de facto registrar of choice for Chinese domain hackers; once they steal domains, they move them to Ename, which is infamous for ignoring requests to return domains.

Two more domain names, ERKZ.com and 4LQ.com were stolen at GoDaddy and moved to Ename; their legitimate owner alerted us that both domains are still listed in his GoDaddy account under auction.

Here is his testimonial about the domain theft incident:

“On Sunday 7^th Dec 2104 I tried to log into my account but was unsuccessful so I ended up calling GoDaddy to gain access. While I was talking to support I asked them what had happened and to check my account logs etc. The gentleman I was talking to could not see anything unusual  but noticed that my email had been changed to zhuchun8899@gmail.com so he fixed that then I changed my pin and password.

I then logged back on only to discover that the names listed above were no longer in my account.

I notified GoDaddy straight away and submitted a formal request to undo@godaddy.com as I was instructed and have since received notice from GoDaddy saying they will contact the existing registrar but that’s about it they don’t appear to be overly interested in helping.

I fired back another email to GoDaddy advising I wasn’t happy with response and that I would expect them to do more than just lodge a complaint with eName. Surely GoDaddy can check logs etc. to find out when and how this breach occurred.

From reading further about other stolen names ending up eName I don’t hold any real hope in getting them back.

The domains do not have a large money value but I had owned them for many years and to have them just ripped away has caused me a lot of grief.

I’m happy for you to make as much noise as possible about this in the hope that at least it spreads the word.”

If you are approached to acquire 4LQ.com or ERKZ.com keep in mind they are currently stolen.
