Well, I'm just sitting here hypothesising.

 

But really Domain Hijacking is usually a form of online identity theft,
where the thief one way or another convinces the Registrar, (or the ISP
hosting the Admin Email) that he is the owner.

 

I'm not one to comment on NSI's security except to say that I highly
respect their senior staff and have witnessed major efforts to stamp out
fraud. If anything NSI could teach many other registrars how to protect
domains. This is a far cry from the pre-Champ M. days.

 

 

 

Richard

Hello Richard,

	Hi John,
	 
	So, in summary.... an identity theft occurs at NSI (hijacker
pretends to be
	Don Teske likely by sending in a fax with faked ID) and the
buyer at Sedo
	claims he's an innocent purchaser....  
	  

its that simple at NSI to change domain ownership with fake IDs? 

it should be harder for american registrant to be faked at american
registrars due the easier methods to identify ownership?
