Domain Spats & Disputes

According to the temporary blog set up by MakeUseOf.com, the MakeUseOf.com domain was highjacked right out of the owner’s GoDaddy account.

According to the report, the attacker somehow got the GoDaddy account details by hacking into the account holder’s Gmail account. Apparently, social engineering was also used to convince GoDaddy to go ahead and transfer the domain immediately.
