Trying To Steal My Domains

[nicpal]

I have received a couple requests for my username and password from my registrar where the send my my information via email. I did not request this information either time and the IP address is not mine. How do I find out who this is (24.194.80.187) and make sure I don't get jakced!

Also try http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm but may not be always correct. Albany, NY??

Just report these (stupid) attempts to your registrar. Some people just like to have sick fun. No need to panic, so long as you maintain the security of your admin email. If you let your admin email domain get hijacked through lose security, then you deserve losing those names.

Maybe one of the moderators can check if that IP address is used by any members here.

I would suggest you contact the ISP and let them know whats going on.

Finally found out who is trying to access the account. It seems that it was an Ebay user to whom I sold a domain to about a month ago who can't seem to follow the push instructions for RegisterFly and was trying to figure out how to access my account to do so.
