More Stolen Domains - Numerics This Time

[Theo]

Stolen from eNom and moved to Ename, the Chinese registrar that rarely complies with reversal requests.

Thanks for sharing.

I don't see why not, unless your IP is in a range that has been blocked. PM me your IP and I'll take a look.

Theo, it took me few shots, but finally I got to the article. Thanks

how come every day we hear something on some more domains being stolen from enom-
enom's security has become the issue here.

 

[Theo]

domainoid, the most common method is phishing emails and viruses that steal passwords.

i know that theo but why is enom the registrar most domains are being taken out of now?
at the very least enom is being targeted by thieves, even when registrants fall victim to phishing attacks. enom must be seen as not having very good security.

i'd sleep with one eye open if i had any good domains with enom.

I suspect that Enom backend is quite old and some decade-old bugs are still unfixed.

 

[Theo]

domainoid, my stats don't show that. Most domain thefts occur at GoDaddy, and definitely Moniker. In any case, the most common method used is email phishing, that primarily plagues GoDaddy due to its popularity.
eNom is not known to be an unsafe registrar, however, they are not taking the approach most domain owners would like to see, when it comes down to actively pursuing the return of stolen domains.

Would seem with Moniker having moved over to their new Key-systems backend they're having the most issue, I recently assisted Uniregistry by reverse hijacking a six figure three letter .com coming out of Moniker which had been moved over to Name.com by a thief out of the Middle East. In fact from my experience Enom (Right Media) has historically done an ok job comparatively..not saying much I suppose though. I've had my own names stolen out of each. I know when I was a director at Neustar they had a pretty good reputation, that's when the CEO Taryn was at Pool.com.
