I got jacked a few times and now I keep an eye on my URLs like a hawk. What is your experience? Have you been jacked?

LONDON - A Conservative party association in the small Welsh town of Delyn is trying to buy back its Web site domain name after it was taken over by pornographers.
The site once promoted the activities of the local Conservative association, offering news about area councilors and useful contact numbers.

Now users are confronted with offers to buy hardcore movies featuring group, lesbian and anal sex, as well a raft of explicit images of naked women.

A spokesman for Welsh Conservatives -- who stressed he had not seen the offending site -- said the problem arose when the Delyn conservatives took on a new Internet address but forgot to renew their ownership of the old name, which was subsequently snapped up by a pornographer.

The association is hoping to buy the domain name back and in the meantime all links from Conservative party Web sites to the hard-core Delyn site have been erased.

Never been jacked... it's entirely your fault if you can't be bothered to renew your domains, I am paranoid and tend to check when my domains expire on a fortnightly basis. No point in leaving it to the last minute.
