“What makes you think such measures were NOT in place? Were there other domains similarly hijacked in subsequent months?”

The indictment makes me “know” this.

Re: “Blame the hackers, but also Comcast for not having security measures in place with their registrar.”

What makes you think such measures were NOT in place? Were there other domains similarly hijacked in subsequent months?

You haven’t seen me in a beard singing “If I Were A Rich Man”. The line was out the door!

It wouldn’t happen if The company had not
1. An overview of All their domains
2. Updated standard ownership detail in The Whois

I do believe that registrars should assume more responsibility to educate their clients about good domain practice

Hi Dutch, I’d like to hear your story for a report I’m doing. Look me up at http://www.successclick.com.

(Thx Dub-A for allowing the pitch)

Great to see a guest writer on DNW. Good article.

@David, I usually agree with you, but that’s a poor excuse not to “entertain” the idea of using SLD’s. No disrespect intended.

I would pay to see such an unorthodox rebbe.
