Got my hijacked domain back. Wanted to thank DirectNic for their help.
 

As some of you may know, I had a domain hijacked from me about 2 weeks ago. Some bastards used a spyware/keylogger to steal my directnic login info. They then changed accounts email address and transferred the domain.

Speacial thanks go to Donny Simonton, DirectNic's technical manager. He was extremely helpful in resolving this situation.

Enom.com (the registrar where my domain had been transferred) was also very cooperative. Big thanks to Joanne Tucker, transfers manager.


My advice: have a good anti-spyware software running at all times on your pc.

Good for you Dork chops... :thumbsup

That's great news. It is very nice to know these registrars worked together to help out and resolve the situation.

Cheers to you for getting your domain back. :thumbsup

:)

must've been a good domain.

Yeah, I was surprised how cooperative enom.com really was.

Glad to hear you got it back.

Now it's time to switch to a Mac. No spyware! (for now)

Good news. What happened to the people that stole it?

sounds illegal
find out who stole it?

Good news DJ

Did they find out who stole the domain?

No idea.

Directnic has his IP and yahoo email, but thats it.
SmokeyTheBear traced it to Kosovo hack group.

Im pretty sure its the same people who got sleazy's and thehun and they knocked out phpbb's site last week as well

DirectNic and Enom are both Top Notch :thumbsup

Donny has helped me more times than I could count. :321GFY

You can't go wrong with either of those registrars.


BIG B

some good news!

Hijacking a domain with a tojan/keylogger is very different than defacing a page with a web application exploit.

great news... I know who I will contact when one of my domains will get stolen ;)

What is some good anti-spyware software?

directnic rocks :thumbsup as soon as they expire on gd we move them

I tried the same two years ago, where I had some of my domains hi-jacked. It was also with Directnic, who as in your problem, was very helpful.

directnic is definitely worth the $15

I currently use Microsoft Anti Spyware.

Like it a lot. It automatically downloads fixes for new exploits.
