Porn.com Stolen? UDRP Filed By Company That Paid $9.5 Million For It

Quote:

A UDRP has been filed on the grandfather of adult generic domain names, Porn.com with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)

The company filing the complaint, MXN Limited bought the domain name back in 2007 for more than $9.5 Million dollars.

The domain name Porn.com was registered at Moniker.com for a many years until just a week ago or so when it was transferred to the Regional Network Information Center, JSC dba RU-CENTER (.RU) under privacy.

We have not been able to confirm the nature of the UDRP and that its to recover a stolen domain but its the only thing that makes sense.

I know Moniker.com offers a Max Lock product on domain names, a second step authorization system meant to make it much harder to steal a domain but we have no idea of whether this domain was covered by the Max Lock or not but appears to be another huge black eye for Moniker.com a company that has seen more than its share of problems.

If this is a case of a stolen domain, its Certainly the most valuable domain since Sex.com to have be stolen, which led to years to lawsuits, but was taken under a completely different ?paper? transfer system which existed years ago.

According to Alexa.org, Porn.com is the 854th most visited site on the Internet......

:Oh crap

Would be interesting to hear if the theft (if that's what it turns out to be) had anything to do with Moniker's recent incompetence.

Ouch!!!!

Looks the same. Can they follow any ref links?

result of the Moniker fuckup?

wow... that's pretty bad.

Glad I moved my domains in time - wishing the best of luck with the domain recovery

Well sanctions against Russia didn't help...... they probably want a prawn site

Btw I thought Pimproll owned porn.com - am I mistaken there?

Anything to do with the 1.2 billion email addresses hacked? Glad I never went wit Moniker.

Maybe it's a plan to extort the owners (pimproll).

They stole the domain and now they will ask for a certain amount of "monies" to give it back or else they will change the nameservers and turn the domain into a malware, virus spreading heaven.

So oh wise one - where should we keep our domains ?

till now moniker bragged that they never lost a domain, now they lost one BIG TIME!

I dont understand, no one thought to call them on the phone and verify did you sell the domain? To me that seems simple and considering its a extra premium one at that.

lots of good registrars out there

i like NameCheap

OMG. that's aweful. Moth* fuc** co** suc** thieves.

No word from Pimproll yet?

I hope they get it back before any damage is done!

How do they expect to profit from this? No way they keep it or monetize it without repercussions.
