Domain Theft

[Ghengis]

Has anyone had any domains transfered from there account in the last 48 hours without there knowledge.

 

[Pred]

not that I'm aware of

are you saying nominet account?
so someone would have to have access or hack your email to do that
or crack nominet password

have you had emails confirming domains out then? or are you just missing domains in your account

 

[Systreg]

I can't see anything transferred from my account, not had any email regarding names being transferred anyway.

Did you get emails saying the names had been transferred, and is that how you noticed it.

 

[Ghengis]

I have had some domains transfered without my knowledge and have tried to contact Nominet but they are closed for the weekend.

Are you a tag holder?

This number is supposed to be for tag holders only for out of hours emergencies: Tel: 01606 866663

Surely they must take your call due to the serious nature of it even if you're not a tag holder.

The service will be available between 17:30

The first point of contact will be a third party call centre who will
then relay your details to a member of our technical support team. The
out of hours contact number is:

This service is for Nominet tag holders only and in order that the
operator can confirm your identity you will be asked to supply the
following details:

Tag name Caller name/Organisation name Contact telephone number

These details will then be relayed to the support adviser on call who

initially are PGP key replacement and Automaton/WHOIS/WHOIS2 blocks.

All other support will be provided during normal office hours (09:00 -

This service will initially be provided for a six month trial period
so that we can gauge demand for the service and identify any other

sorry to hear that
number 1 change your email password
change nominet password
check your security software up to date, to avoid keylogging etc

then, good thing about uk domains, is as you know they will have had to pay for nominet transfer via card
so as it's theft, theres a papertrail for police and nominet
also nominet should be able to get ip's

 

[Pred]

also what tag are they on now?
contact them tues am

Is this with the Registrar 123-reg.co.uk?

I only noticed it because we are building a new site for one of my domains and moving it to our server that I noticed it.

Can you say who the registrar was that the domain was transferred out from and who it is with now so if we are using either of them we can be extra vigilant?

[Ghengis]

[foz]

A prized domain if its that one I sold you a while back to do with Weddings?

 

[Ghengis]

I will let you all know ASAP.

 

[namealot]

Were you first registrant of name? If not has the name registrar ever been “telivo” and if so is the registrants name now showing as a unknown owner whilst showing LCN still as the registrar if so might be able to help?

 

[Ghengis]

Got all 184 domains back thanks to Nominets help.
