I can tell you some things that the guys over at DomainNameSystems.com see ..

people call customer support and try to 'convince' them they are the owner and ask them to 'remind' them of login info (it doesn't work at his place as he requires faxed proof hehe)

People use the same password for their domains as they do with alot of affiliate programs or hosting sites. If you have an untrustworthy employee at a sponsor program they can give that info a shot at a registrar and get lucky. (do NOT use the same password on your registrar that you use ANYWHERE else!)

People use unscrupulous registrars or registrars with unscrupulous employees ... could be lots of palm greasing if its a good domain.

Best solutions is to use a registrar with a good solid reputation and use a totally unique password.
