Upon what verifiable facts do you base your endless speculation? (1) Stop blaming the victim! (2) Registrants can't "lock" domains, it's a registrar-lock. Users can only ask that domains be locked. Stupid policy, bad results. (3) This is a red-herring issue anyway, since there is no evidence that Mel-IT ever sent notification, or even waited 5 days for a response. The domain was hijacked in the middle of the night, in the middle of a weekend -- a very odd time for confirming responses by a staff that wasn't in the office answering the phones.... (4) Mel-IT has admitted it "failed to properly confirm", and a "loophole" caused the error. (5) Mel-IT has an executive and a lawyer that were both notified about the problem, and refused to mitigate the damage. (6) Stop blaming the victim! -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
