    Someone hacked my OpenSRS account and stole my domains name

    Has anyone had this happen to them.
    They changed my login and start transfering out domains.

    Any suggestions on how I can proceed with this. I don't think I can contact OpenSRS until 8AM EST.


    Domains that i've had since 96 and up are gone.

    AdultWebmaster.com
    OfficeBuildings.com
    VirtualFantatsy.com
    and dozens of more.

    Any help would be appreciated.

      adultwebmaster.com - got pushed to godaddy

      pretty simple - first talk with godaddy where they pushed the domains to
      call executive accounts services: 480-505-8885
      alert them of the situation

          Hey Mike,

          I'll hook you up with Howard Neu. He specializes in domain theft.

          Drop me an e-mail real quick with the list. We've also got GoDaddy contacts and they just helped get stolen names back.

                              I went thru this situation last year. ICQ me if you want any advice or help getting them back.

                              The aquiring registrar will more than likely lock the domain to prevent another transfer if you explain the situation to them.

                              Also make a post on DNforum.com and let them know to keep an eye out for anyone trying to sell them. Same goes for some of the other big forums.

                                  Yeah, i just talked with them and they have me emailing the situation to [email protected].

                                  I was hoping for a little more help than that. But i guess at 9:30 at night i can't expect more than that for now.

                                  Hopefully the AM will be more productive

                                    Thanks for all the icq's and emails offering help.
                                    I'm going to step away from the computer for a few and calm down.
                                    I think i've emailed and called all i can for now.

                                    Thanks

                                                Talk to Paul Karkas in Tucows/OpenSRS compliance, and he should be able to get the name back for you. The losing registrar can initiate a Transfer Dispute these days, which should expedite recovery of the domain.

                                                          They changed my login and start transfering out domains.

                                                          Any suggestions on how I can proceed with this. I don't think I can contact OpenSRS until 8AM EST.


                                                          Domains that i've had since 96 and up are gone.

                                                          and dozens of more.

                                                          Any help would be appreciated.



                                                          Do you mean they hacked your OpenSRS reseller admin to get the domains unlocked or did the domain management account get hacked?

                                                                      This is the first chance i've had to get onto GFY today. I got up at 5:00am to catch opensrs when they opened. I spoke with Paul and he's been a big help.
                                                                      He locked all the domains that haven't been transfered out yet, and set me up to get back into my account. He's working with GoDaddy to get AdultWebmaster.com back right now. Luckily most of the domains only had the info and dns changed. They never got transfered out. I still have about 20 more domains to check to make sure they wheren't transfered out, but so far so good.

                                                                      Thanks to all for the advice on email, here and icq.

                                                                                      it will take several months to get the domain back from godaddy in most situations, especially if the owner didn't notice that it was stolen right away. the guy who stole it can have the domain sold in 3 days to an unsuspecting buyer. so, the guy who bought the domains is the one who gets fucked, unless the original owner doesn't realize they were stolen.

                                                                                      7g.com, and a bunch of other domains were just sold on ebay for $x,xxx. all hijacked. it took a lot of detective work before people caught on.

                                                                                      it's stupid, but these cocksuckers will do anything for a few bucks.

                                                                                            Its not like the domains will go away and it can also be traced to whom stolen them in the first place?

                                                                                            Well i think its the same as go into a 7-eleven with 45 cameras and first place your ID and face up to the cams for 5 seconds and then put an skimask over the head and rob the place :D
