“You are a Victim of Domain Name Theft. Now What?”

Eric Misterovich from Revision Legal published a blog post called “You are a Victim of Domain Name Theft. Now What?”.

Here are a few tips suggested by Eric to help you deal with domain name theft:

1. Track Your Steps
   To narrow the scope of the required search, you should carefully track your interactions with your domains to determine the time they were stolen.
2. Secure Other Accounts
   Once one of your accounts has been compromised, you should assume your other online accounts are equally damaged.
3. Contact An Attorney
   It is likely you will first contact your registrar to complain about your missing domains. […], most registrars will not take any affirmative action to protect your domains without proof the domains are subject to litigation.
   As a result, it is imperative that you contact an attorney to file suit as soon as possible. Once a lawsuit is filed, registrars will usually place domains on an administrative lock to prevent further transfer.
