I have just received 7 transfer away requests to Melbourne IT that I did not initiate. I received an earlier one a few weeks a go, also for a transfer to MIT.
All have been for surnames with a .net or .org extension.
The transfer requests would all have gone through automatically if I hadn?t refused them within 5 days!
Locking down domains is a bit of a hassle, and not a user option for at least half of my domain names, but it looks as though I'll need to do this where I can, and perhaps ask my registrar to lock down the domains if I don?t have access to this facility.
Has anyone else had experience of attempted theft by this method?
If you don't have your domain names locked down, make sure you keep your e-mail addresses up to date, or you could lose your domains if you never get the initial e-mail notifying you of the transfer!
