the domain is still active so your registrar can reverse that but wake someone up
Wake somebody up at dotster? Good luck.
I stopped using them when they did not even answer the phone during normal business hours.
The internet works 24/7, dotster works 9 to 5 monday to friday
sleazy , do you also own the .info version? If so , im guessing you may have recently renewed the .com version, - on the 6th?
I recently renewed a name with dotser - actually two domains... and i dont remember them asking me if i wanted a .info version, but they seem to have given it to me anyway, free.
Who knows, maybes theres some weird loophole in dotster, that could be how that thief jacked your shit? You said you didnt recieve any confirmation or anything.
I would change your passwords immediately , if you havent already
SIG TOO SMALL! Maximum 1200x600 button and no more than 30 text lines of ALL SIZES and COLORS. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 6240x4800 instead of a 1024x800.
I can't believe the way these idiots operate. They hijack a shitload of high profile domains all at once and use major sponsorship programs. Gee, think you'll get caught?
I expect that any reputable sponsor will kill these accounts the instant they find out. In the meantime, these jokers are fucking things up for a lot of people.
they have techs up , tell them they are hosting the xberotica site and hosting trojans . they have hijacked your domain and filled in the same false info on both. Tell them to blank page it for now.

here's what's happened to me over the last 24 hours or so.
I'm no programer. I'm a marketer.
One of my gallery urls (easy-dater.com - don't load this url- full of trogran installs now) somehow got the resister changed. It was with dotster. I THOUGHT it was locked down - I got no email conformation on the transfer from dotster at all - the url just suddenly dissapeared to install hell. Ok shit happens, I can deal with that.
The Hijacker was using amateurpages and tripleXcash, Now PLEASE don't blain these people at all, I'm not panicing about this part, icqs have been sent to these companies to have the account shut down, and as these are good honest companies I'm sure they were not aware of this at all and would not support a hijacker in any way shape form or fashion. I could make a phone call to get that done immediatly but I just sent them icqs cause as long as that's dealt with in the next few days that's cool as this part isn't a panic situation. No worries there.
I tried to contact dotster, my register - all phone numbers and teck support is out till monday. 24 hours of hell so far......UGGGGGG
I tried to contact the new registar - in india - they say they can't do anything till monday. Same agrivation
In the mean time i loose MILLIONS of hits a day and tens of thousands of dollars in pre-paid ads and pre-purchased bandwidth, not to mention all my archive placements on the galleries is lost forever - 2 years worth of submitting gone - that was a great steady revenue source to say the least that cannot be replaced.
To put it lightly this hurt me BADLY. No i'm not bankrupt, I have many ventures, but this one was basically whipped out and I can't even get ahold of either registar to do anything about it - i have to sit here till monday loosing everything i built up to this THEIF. Life goes on.
So here's what REALLY pissing me off though. I find the web host the hijacker used and is sending all my traffic though. I tell them about the hijack and I know - to them it's "he said she said" but here's the thing, I told them a lawsuit will occur and i know that up to this point they really didn't know anything about this, but now that they do know and the hijacker has 5 auto installs (nasty ones too) and FALSE WHO IS info (obviously false too) on the urls so please take down the urls. That is immediatly undisputable and reason to suspend an account and take a page down. I get a bit of a run around and then finally get an email from them that says
"I have contacted the server administrator and asked him to remove the domain for the time being until the situation is resolved.
Hopefully he will be able to take care of this shortly, but I was unable to reach him by phone. I will let you know when we hear back from him."
ok - this ADMITS they agree the site needs to come down, but WHAT THE FUCK? They have 24/7 teck support - HOW FUCKING SIMPLE IS IT TO PULL THE GOD DAMN PLUG on this site? It's got false who is and over 5 nasty autoinstalls on it - a no brainer to cancel this account. It's still up - it's been several hours now since I got that email. Needless to say I'm MORE than pissed.
Does anyone here know HOW to get this site down? the longer it stays active the more damage it does to me. I'm open to ANY ideas at this point as my fustration level is beyond redline now.

You probably called someone an idiot one too many times huh? Karmas a bitch
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.

if you honestly think this is karma you're seriously fucked.
i live my life by the philosophy of bending over backwards for other people. ASK ANYONE who knows me.
several other majopr gallery people got hijacked at the same time that don't post regurally to gfy - i guess they must have kicked a cat or something....

c- In the REAL world, nobody gives a flying fuck about Sleazy or things would have been fixed.

At this point, all you can do it cut your losses. I did the same last year when I almost lost 5 domains (I got them back after 2 weeks of disputes). The first thing is to change your email password. This is a must, especially being that you received no emails from Dotster. This only means the person might have erased them directly from your mail box, that's what happened to me. Good luck!
i know - there is NOTHING in dotstar in my messages there about this and I got NO email saying this was going to happen - i'm totally stumped as to how they were able to do it.
Like I said, in my situation they gained access to my email box first. Be sure to safeguard at least that right now.
Hey Sleazy, I'm working my connections through all the biggest domain owners in the biz to see if anyone has inside connects at Dotster to help you right now.
for all of you FUCKING idiots ICQing me, I had nothing to fucking do with this shit...
Sleazy and I had our spat, but I would never do anything like this AT ALL
Sleazy, I hope you get this taken care of, it's some fucked up shit
I spoke to my buddy who has some domains with them and he only had the numbers already given in this and the other thread
This sucks man and anybody that makes fun when a mans livelihood is disrupted should get a fucking life sure he has many more revenue streams but it's still part of the mans work and that should be respected. Good luck sleazy let us know also monday is martin luther king day so they might not be in the office.
It seems like a well planned event, hitting a high traffic domain on a long weekend. They can install toolbars at will until Tuesday.
To my mind it seems like something someone may have been working on for a while.
You have my real sympathy with this Sleazy, this is one of my nightmares made real.
I'm very curious how they did it. If the domain wasn't locked they would have to know your email, but if it was locked they would have to know the email and the Registrar password. Have you checked your machine for key loggers or any other trojans? They may have been able to pull and then decrypt your stored password file, then they would have been able to get them all at once.
