    New ICANN rules... stop the paranoia you're domains will not disappear! READ>>>

    NatNet was so kind to finally clear it up for the paranoia webmasters

    With regard to the rumors that this new policy will make domain slamming / hijacking / stealing easier, this is simply not true. As the owner of the domain, you must still confirm a transfer with the gaining registrar in order for the transfer to take place.
    stop the paranoia people

                  Yeah i locked mine to but this is good to know!!
                  SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.

                      Actually I think it would be very easy to lose your domains IF THEY ARE NOT LOCKED!

                      For example what if the email sent ?like the one below? never arrived, for whatever reason ?Spam filter perhaps? Say bye bye to your domain.

                      GoDaddy.com received notification on 11/11/2004 that you have requested a transfer to another domain name registrar. If you want to proceed with this transfer, you do not need to respond to this message. If you wish to cancel the transfer, you must do so before 15-Nov-04.

                      To CANCEL the transfer:
                      Go to ******************************** and log in if prompted with your username and password. Click the check box by the domain, and click the Decline button.

                                  I believe either thehun.com or thehun.net has been hijacked before. Thehun was able to get it back.

                                      I think NatNet and many of the "not to worry" people may not be that familiar with attempted and successful hijackings in the last couple years. It's true, you're *supposed* to need to confirm approval with the gaining registrar, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to worry about. There are hundreds (thousands? ICANN's list seems very outdated) of ICANN-accredited registrars now, most are okay, but some are shady, and others are just careless. With so much money to be made fraudulantly, you can count on some of the careless or shady registrars facillitating hijack attempts. Some registrars have had security flaws in transfer request approval for a long time, which will only now be exploited.

                                          don't post this yet, GODADDY still have hundreds of people to milk for 99 cents to lock their domains out of fear.

                                              of course fraudulent hijackings are never totally out of the question. It's smart if people just lock their domains by default it would save a lotta trouble.

                                              The last few days a lot of people were going berserk over the fact that ICANN changed the rules and made it look like they wanna promote domain hijacking. Truth is it's not easier nor harder

                                                                                      So... what... a domain thief isn't going to confirm the request from the new registrar that they just initiated?

                                                                                              Nothing wrong with being overly-cautious protecting your domains. and Slav is correct, the hijack attempts have already started.

                                                                                              Plus, be EXTRA careful if you're buying domains in private deals.

                                                                                              ICANN is our worst enemy.

                                                                                                      So... what... a domain thief isn't going to confirm the request from the new registrar that they just initiated?

                                                                                                      The request goes to the email on file on the domain..
