Can you define "hijacked"?

It appears from the WHOIS that you are still the RSP for the domain even 
though it now points to this singer's Web site, so the domain itself 
doesn't seem to have been hijacked to another registrar, etc.

Do you mean someone stole the management password for the domain, then 
logged in and re-pointed the name servers at a new Web site? If so, 
that's not something OpenSRS could really be expected to fix immediately 
when notified at 8PM Friday night; it would presumably require some 
investigation to determine whether the password was indeed stolen (and if 
so, that would presumably be the customer's fault for choosing a weak 
password or giving it to someone else, so he can hardly complain that it 
requires some time to verify).

But perhaps I'm misunderstanding. I'm sure I speak for many when I say 
I'd be interested in hearing details about how the "hijacking" took 
place, this time and the previous time. Without knowing that, it's 
difficult to say who is at fault (and who should therefore jump through 
hoops to fix it).
