In October 1995 NSI transferred the domain to Stephen M. Cohen. Cohen had been trying to gain control of the domain for some time by misrepresentation, using phone calls, e-mails and forged letters. He eventually persuaded an employee of NSI to change the ownership details, apparently through a fake fax, although this was not entirely clear during most of the legal proceedings that followed.

Yes, I forgot about social engineering. But, in principle, it would be possible to get the nuclear launch suitcase in the same exact way. And I think some pretty high security hard-disks actually dissapeared in exactly that way, too.
But we're not exactly talking about sex.com here, I don't think.
