Hello, Today's lesson is on how to steal a domain name.....
Step 1. Find a high value domain name with an invalid administrative email address, preferably one that is not actively being used so that it won't be noticed. Example: nigger.com, nigger.net, nigger.org (owned by NAACP) Step 2. Note in the WHOIS that the admin email is [EMAIL PROTECTED], which until yesterday was on a domain (BAWAVE.com) that had long expired and been deleted. Step 3. Register the aforesaid domain name in Step #2. Oh my, some folks have caught on, as you can see the WHOIS for BAWAVE.com, freshly registered yesterday: Registrant: Nigger Inc [EMAIL PROTECTED] +62.3189598 Hendra Gunawan JL. Bengawan 56 Surabaya,Jawa Timur,Indonesia 60000 Domain Name:bawave.com Record last updated at 2002-11-04 20:31:57 Record created on 2002/11/4 Step 3a: Ideally, make the registrant in step 3 very obscure, like in a far away land. ;) Step 4: Activate the domain in Step #3 so that email is working, namely the email address in Step 2. Step 5: Initiate a transfer request, and accept using the email in step 4. Step 6: Enjoy Given the NAACP's inability to fix the problem (I emailed them about this months ago), I acquired a SnapBack, in case someone tried to take the name. I imagine now that the process is unveiled, someone at Verisign (Chuck?) or at ICANN will do something.....(maybe someone in Washington, DC can give the NAACP a call, or something.... Since we're now potentially at Step 5, the time to act is now, guys and gals...
