    just got this email from dotster re: domains getting jacked

    Dear Dotster Customer,

    This is an important message regarding your Dotster Domains.

    We recently included a story in our dotNews email explaining that
    ICANN has introduced changes to their transfer policy, requiring
    registrars to acknowledge all incoming domain transfer requests. In
    response to this policy, and in order to protect you from unauthorized
    transfers, we have implemented our free TransferLock service for all
    .com and .net domains currently registered with us.

    This change will help to prevent .com and .net domain names from being
    transferred without your authorization. Domains protected by Dotster's
    free TransferLock service can only be transferred if the domain owner
    logs into their account and unlocks them.

    Dotster has experienced several cases where the registrar requesting
    the transfer of a domain has attempted a transfer without the consent
    of the domain owner. Enabling our TransferLock service for all of our
    customers will help protect them against this type of activity.

    TransferLock will only be applied to .com and .net domain names.

    In order to remove the TransferLock feature from a domain you'll need
    to:

    - Log into your account
    - Click the domain to manage
    - Under the "Services For Domain" section - click the 'manage' button
    next to "Domain Locking"
    - On the "Domain Lockdown" page, click 'unlock'

    To remove the TransferLock feature from multiple domians at once:

    - Log into your account
    - Click 'View a complete list of all domains in your account'
    - Select the domains you would like to manage and click the 'Manage
    Domains' button
    - Under the "Registered Domain Functions" section, click the 'Unlock
    Domains That Have TransferLock' button.

    For more information about TransferLock, please visit
    www.dotster.com/valueadd/transferlock.php.

    As always, thanks for trusting Dotster with your domains.

      Better late than never.

      They should have auto-locked domains at the time of the rules change.

        That would have been the logical thing to do.

          They shouldn't be modifying anyone's domains without their express permission.
