Do you ever use chat programs like AIM, Yahoo, MSN?
If you do, don't. They can deliver trojans that can record keystrokes and thus access your accounts.

1. Change your NameCheap password ASAP to keep it from happening to other domains.

2. Try calling NameCheap at +1.6613102107

3. Move your domains to eNom or Moniker.

Someone hacked into my accounts at GoDaddy and Moniker also. They transferred around 120 names. I sent an email to Moniker and Moniker pushed the names back into my account the next day. But my GoDaddy domains have been transferred to dotRegistrar. I contacted them about the situation and they are investigating. It happened around the same time -- during the last week of August. The weird thing is when you whois the domains that were fraudulently transferred to dotRegistrar, the contact info says "NOT FOUND".

Acro,

Is there a way of preventing recording of key strokes? I had this happen to me once, but I caught it early and I did not have any chat programs installed....Would using FireFox be more secure in this regard?

I mentioned chat programs, in particular AIM, that have vulnerabilities and allow remote connections that deliver trojans. Obviously, you can get the latter from other sources, such as email, visiting compromised web pages etc. Use a firewall, antivirus software, do not engage in chat with connections you did not initiate.

xoxo11 did you recorded the details of the whois if so can you pm it to me ?
If you are using msn it is better to use it with a non-hotmail email account cause it has some xss vunerabilities.Do not click on links send from msn that way you can lose your password.

It is weird that there is not good security for domains although they are valuable , at least you could appoint unsellable and unmoveable domains.There are domains that I'll never sell and that simple option is not available.

there is no harm in using chat programs like msn as long as you know what are you doing , i have been using them since i have started using Internet MSN is my favorite and there have been no problems ever and yes using Firefox is the safest option i am big fan of Microsoft but honestly Microsoft has gone wrong with Internet Explorer just use Firefox
