Here’s a look at the top five posts on DNW in September, ranked by pageviews:
1. Man who paid $360k for 81.com says it’s stolen – Sami Debizet says he bought the domain in 2013 and that it has been stolen.
2. Oops: New .Ca commercial has a trademark problem – CIRA launched a clever new ad campaign for .Ca domains, but eagle-eyed attorney John Berryhill noticed that it includes a trademark in one of the domain names.
3. Mailchimp increases price 15%-20% for longtime customers – Just months after grandfathering existing customers into an earlier pricing model, the popular email marketing platform is raising prices on these customers.
4. This could be a bad phishing campaign for stealing domains – This clever single sign-on phishing approach could be used to steal domains.
5. Auto parts company’s domain stolen and held for ransom – A thief demanded 10 bitcoin for the return of the domain name, but the auto parts company got a court to return the domain quickly. Domain theft victims and domain attorneys should note the company’s legal tactic, as it could be useful for the expedited return of domain names.
