New Rules Make Domain Hijacking Easier
New Domain Rules from ICANN http://www.icann.org/transfers/policy-12jul04.htm
Essentially, if someone tries to take your domain, and you don't answer within 5 days, they now assume you are okay with the transfer. Previously, the default answer was no, and you had to explicitly state your acceptance of the domain transfer. Owners of small domains, beware: no more computerless vacations that last more than 4 days at a time!"
so with that being said look in to your domain registrar and make sure you have "domain locking" turned on for each domain...and please don't forget your password or you will be bigtime screwed.
In other news based on this rule I have an idea...if we request the transfer of pmdawn.com and they don't answer in 5 days then we've hi-jacked it :bigthumb:
Domain Name: PMDAWN.COM
Registrant:
Ultimate Search
GPO Box 7862

HK
CN

Administrative Contact:

since this is one of those search spam companies I kinda doubt that they check that dns@ email addy that much...they probably get loads of spam from it anyway.
So I'm gathering a little army of anyone who's in and we will request the transfer of that domain at random times over a 2-3 day period...hopefully one of them will slip through the cracks and we snag the domain. This goes into effect Friday so we need to do this Saturday and Sunday.
