this week by hijackers
apparently based in the Ukraine. They gained
access to Checkfree's registration account at Network
Solutions and redirected the domain to a
server loaded with malicious attack software.
At the same time the
domain forums DomainState.com
and NamePros.com
are buzzing with posts about another hijacker based
in Iran who has stolen hundreds of domain
names and put them up for sale (lists of the names
that are believed to have been stolen are posted in
both of those threads).
There are a number of
software programs available that will continually
manage the status of your domain names and alert you
if any changes have been at your registrar. Do a
search of Google for "domain management software"
to return links to a number of the options that are
out there.

On the
flip side of the good guy/bad guy coin, John
Motson, who writes the DNExpert.com
blog, is giving away a free copy of his
86-page ebook "Domaining Manifesto -
Guide to Successful Domaining,"
to help draw attention to a new site he is about to
launch at DomainingRevolution.com.
You can get the book by going to the latter site and
registering your email address.
Motson
said, "I wrote the Manifesto to focus on a need
by people to make a success of their online
entrepreneurship efforts at a time when offline jobs
are harder to find. Every day, domaining gurus are
feeding us the "all the good domains are
gone" phrase. Why? The answer is very simple.
They are afraid of the competition! The truth is
very different. Domain names can provide a risk
free, steady, long term source of revenue
unparalleled by anything else offered online
today."
