Hop 16 is the one right before the final ip address. (openvz.dmehosting.com )

Might be the place to start. Or maybe it's an owned(as in hacked) hosting account / VPS someone is bouncing off, if they have a clue.

But that's like saying you wouldn't blame someone for stealing a wallet because it has been left unattended for a moment. We should all mind our wallets and our domain names, but just because you can steal something doesn't make it right. If you do steal, you are to blame, no matter how hard or easy someone has made it for you.

@Mallie

I disagree. I'm in the domaining business, not in a domain/security/prevention/storage business. The registrars should guarantee domain safety. This thing is a joke.

Wallet is a different story. I'm responsible for storage.

I'm not saying that registrars shouldn't have systems to take care of the safety of domains. I'm saying that it's wrong to steal them, even if these systems aren't in place.

paridokht.com is a web site with ...you guessed it...Iranian WHOIS info. Nothing to do with Ukraine.

I cant guarantee that is the same guy, but i have reason to belive as someone mentioned in this thread one of his email as LdariushL@ something..........i just listed one other email with the same style of "L" as first and last letter"...........also, some dariush tried to sell my domain name at some arabic forum. He stole DVD.fm from me.

Also, many tracks leads to Iran, and i get info about his IP which should be from Teheran.........

And for one who have NP account.....here it it that thread:
http://www.namepros.com/warnings-and...d-exposed.html

And another thread:

http://www.namepros.com/warnings-and...r-vacumer.html

And IP addresses of NP member Vacumer, who stole my DVD.fm.....i belive that is the same guy as the one about who is this thread:

If cops can't guarantee one's safety 24/7, then I don't know why one expects a
private party like a registrar to "guarantee domain safety" other than whatever
security measures they've got in place. Besides, registrars don't control all things
that can make a hijacking occur like one's computer or email access.

Unless maybe one's willing to let the registrar control those too? Or perhaps one
should forward those escrow emails to the registrar first?

You tell me.

[ydnaemsti]

@Dave
You sound very naive. Cops are there to control and make money, they're not there to guarantee anyone's safety except the ruling entity at a given time (their employer).

Now going back to domains. The fact that there is so many domains stolen every day tells me few things:

1. The entire registrar/domain storage architecture is bogus and creates asylum for those like the hero in this thread.
2. The is room for improvement, which means there is room for a new company to come in and dominate the market.
3. Registrars should create an option to roll back all stolen transactions.

Dave's not the one that sounds naive.

Most if not all do as Mallie previously posted. It's verifying claims that poses a
big challenge, especially those who do reply with rebuttals of their own.

I've dealt with various cases of this in my previous registrar. Sure was one big
headache sometimes.

[Doc Com]

I think I just got one from escrow.com.

I have never had any contact with the buyer. And no contact from Escrow.com until this email came:

It has been 2 days and the seller has not agreed to the transaction terms for:

---

If you are the seller, please sign in to your account at Escrow.com, click on your transaction number, and then agree to the terms and the escrow instructions.

If no action is taken, this transaction will be canceled in 3 days.
