Domain stealing

[Jerry Feldman]

I had dinner last night with Pat Tomey (who runs a few user groups). He had 
his domain hijacked. 

On Network Solutions (Verisign) when you use the mail-to method someone can 
update the domain and use 2 email addresses, yours and theirs. Since both 
of you get confirmation, whoever responds first wins. I would suggest that 
anyone who has a domain with Verisign use one of their more secure methods, 
like PGP.
