Another Scandal rocks the domain world as Rick Schwartz outs Chef Patrick!

[copper]

Bottom line that really matter - Breach of Trust!

 

[katherine]

Years ago I worked @ AOL in Broadband Support. One of technicians on my team used the AOL internal program (Sherlock) to look up a celebrities address. When it was found out they were fired on the spot.

What you mean is... perhaps there is not even a trail of who looked up what at Oversee, so the breach of privacy could have gone undiscovered.

I hope he looked at whois of only ChefPatrickSucks.com , nothing else. And has paid the price.

Who regged it and what was the motive behind it ? It will be interesting to watch out....

Indeed :yes:

This is all getting ridiculous if you ask me, and for MR. chef --- a big mistake for trying to turn the tables on rick schwartz... playing victim.... blah blah. Come on now. WTF is this, kindergarten?

I can tell you GD has footprints on everything and they take it very seriously.

If someone goes into and account, domain or auction and has no business being there all hell breaks loose.

GD does not put up with any privacy or security breaches at all.

Everything is tracked. Kudos to GD.

Hopefully Oversee does the same.

Bravo. Each action should require a login with unique identifier. That way, each action can be tracked should an issue or breech arise.

I have less than 100 domains left at Moniker.... All will be getting out of there soon.

What kept me there for many years was Monte. Nice to know the man in charge was always a phone call/email away and ready, willing and able to take care of stuff within no time.

Now that he's gone, I ask myself... "what the hell is so special about them?" and the answer is nothing really... Unless you list a ton of domains on the SnapNames platform / auctions... Which I don't.

BYE BYE!

...Yes....nothing else.....we all know that if your site/name or anybody's site/name for that matter was regged with a sucks.com at the end and re-directed to a gay porn site.....and u worked at a registrar..and had access to see who the f*ck just regged your namesucks.com......you would do the same!!...Slick Rick included!....so....let's just all cut the f*cking bullshit here.......

what would it matter who regged it? What would you do that with info? Nothing you can do...obviously you are a buddy with the chef.

The real root of the problems are:

1) That Moniker/Oversee obviously did not have in place safeguards to prevent one of their employees from looking up 'private' information on one of their customers, and possibly still does not have such a system in place.
2) That the culprit when discovered was not immediately fired on the spot for his actions.
3) There appears to be an attempt to stuff the blame on the messenger - and whatever the messengers motives were/are is a totally seperate issue.
4) An attempted cover-up has/is occuring by the individual perpertrator and by his employer/ex-employer.

Whether or not you like the perpertrator, the companies concerned or RS should have absolurely nothing to do with this matter. As DCG has stated GoDaddy has a system in place to prevent such and/or identify immediately any breach, so why has Moniker/Oversee not got such a system in place? Why was the perpertrator not immediately fired on the spot when Moniker were informed of the perpertrators actions? Who made the decission that such a 'breach of trust' was something to be swept under the carpet? This of course all begs the question when can you trust anything that Moniker/Oversee says?

After the Halverez scandel I would have thought that the management of Moniker/Oversee would have carried out an indepth examination of all of their systems and protocols to make sure everything else was absolutely water-tight, obviously though the management did not think this was required. (Just as they {the management of Moniker} had assured bidders in their auctions for years that there was no schill bidding and that it could not occur.)

CP has cooked his goose, but the greater damage in the long run must surely be to Moniker/Oversee - and perhaps rightly so for allowing this to occur and then apparently trying to cover it up.

you telling me that if someone regged DomainsIncSucks.com....at the registrar u worked for....and found out that someone regged it...and if you could.... you wouldnt take a peek to see who the f*ck regged it???.....i'm just stating the obvious here......not a buddy with anybody...it doesn't matter.....but answer me this.....when you found out that the person who regged it was supposedly a "friend" of yours.....what would u do with that info???.....i doubt nothing.....and don't BS yourself....

you wouldnt take a peek to see who the f*ck regged it???.....

A smarter cookie would have has someone unrelated to it look it up.

I agree...and the smart cookie wouldn't tell the person who regged it who looked it up...basically all CP had to do.....DENY until proven Guilty...

I don't know, I don't think it would bother me. I've been called much worse. Either way, if you used that info they would know exactly how you got the info and could use it against you. He would of been better off doing nothing, the domain would most likely drop next year and be forgotten.

I should also add, the term friend has become very overused in this world of social apps. Someone you share a few pleasentries with and might bump into at a show isn't a real friend.

After all this hype, the owner of chefpatricksucks.com should put it up for auction and send all proceeds to the people of Japan.

It will never be worth more than it is today.

It wouldn't bother you if you were trying to build a brand....trying to make a name for yourself....trying to start up a cruise conference.....and find out that some assh*le "friend" of yours regs DomainsIncSucks.com and points it to gay porn????.......dude...put yourself in his EXACT shoes....hard to do nothing....i am just curious why Slick Rick....or Rick the Dick...whatever u wanna call him....felt the need to stick his nose into this....and how closely tied in he is to this whole drama.......imo...chef got set up....didnt see it coming....and is catching all the heat for it....

I come from online adult, what happened here is childs play compared to what they do over there when someone doesn't like you. You need to have a thick skin to be in any business, in my opinion. As for the gay porn, I would prefer that rather than actual content dissing me. Regardless wasn't the domain just parked and keywords being patrick and sucks brought the gayness?

It is clear that the Patrick Ruddell or Oversee are not going to give us that information.

But will Rick the Dick??.....since he ratted out Patrick....he might as well rat out that person??....no?....or is that person someone close to him???...

 

[A D]

I think the person that regged it is the last priority here.

People should be able to register whatever domain they want and place it in privacy without fear of exposure or what good is privacy.

Good idea.

and it better be done quick given the limited 15 minutes of infamy and curiosity traffic the domain is getting from the niche domainer community...
