Soirry if it was already posted, but I think all should be aware of this new bullshit : watch for domain highjacking !!!

Dear Valued Go Daddy Customer,

Effective November 12, 2004, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) will institute a new transfer policy for all accredited domain name service providers.

The previous ICANN policy allowed us to deny requests to transfer your domain names to another registrar unless you explicitly confirmed to us your intent to transfer. The new ICANN policy removes that protection. Starting November 12, when we receive a request to transfer your domain name to a new registrar, we will still attempt to contact you to confirm that you authorized the request. However, if you do not respond, or are not able to respond within 5 days, your domain name WILL be transferred.

With this change in mind, we are recommending that all Go Daddy domain customers visit GoDaddy.com and "lock" their domain name(s). Locking your domain(s) is free and prevents unauthorized changes to contacts and name servers. Most importantly, it prevents the domain name from being transferred to another registrar without your knowledge. You may lock or unlock your domain at any time.

To lock your domain names:

So you need to lock your domain names

In other words, everyone can attempt to transfer to him any of my domains, and when one of them is not locked, he will get it and I will lose it for good ( without any possibility to take any action against him )

edited - if so, then what's the reason for this change?

Domain registrars should by default set all domains to lock once first registered.

Yes, yes, that title would've been much more appropriate for you.
