If a domain is NOT locked and is registered with REGISTER.COM and the mailbox is full
 

then can it be theoretically easy hijacked from the owner by virtually anyone?

doesn't matter where its registered.

if its not locked, and the email address listed for contact is mail bombed, or the email is just never read (the one sent by the registrar about transfer) than the domain is as good as gone.

and FYI I am not going to hijack it..... just wondering if anyone will try it. It's a high profile domain. Maybe if I find an other way to contact him and warn him about that risk, he will be more wlling to sell it to me...

Was it pornography.com by any chance/

You guys are dumb, re-read the transfer info. You'd think by now you'd know better.

Ah so the cases of hi-jacking that happened after the ICANN changed domain laws were just fluke eh? :1orglaugh

nope :2 cents:

sure you could hi-jack it

and ofcourse his legal could hand you your ass

whats the domain ?

:1orglaugh

I've tested the new ICANN policies with my wife's domains to see if it would be easy to hijack one. From my registrar I initiated a transfer request for one of my wife's domains from her account and made sure it was unlocked. The notice came to her email and she did not respond to it for the five days. Instead of it being transferred to my registrar, I just got a notice from my registrar after five days that the domain was unable to be transferred. So I'm not really sure I understand the vulnerability that exists with the new ICANN policies.

lazycash: The vulnerability is that some registrars (obviously not the gaining one that you initiated the transfer from) DON'T properly seek the the permission of the registrant. Ask those from this very board whose domains got stolen, ending up at DirectI.com (e.g. Easy-Dater.com and others). Or, same with Panix.com (ending up at Melbourne IT).

Hmmm, well as I understand the new policies, even if the registrar properly seeks permission, if the owner is unresponsive for whatever reason, then the transfer will proceed after five days. Obviously though, that hasn't been the case with my trials.

There needs to be a clarification of this situation you would think it would be easy enough to fix
