Is Network Solutions Changing Your Guardian Settings?

i-don't-use-MAILFROM asks: "If you remember, someone hijacked the Nike's domain last summer. Nike claimed that they were using Crypt-PW protection, while the hijackers claimed they were only using Mail-From (the weakest Guardian scheme). I went to modify one of my domain names last week and discovered that, while I had set up PGP as my Guardian scheme in 1998, I am now using Mail-From. I didn't change it, and the only people who would have had the chance to are Verisign/Network Solutions. Did they lose all of their security settings and reset all domains without telling anyone?" I wouldn't be surprised if many people out there aren't just setting themselves to MAIL-FROM since it's the default option on the form when you modify your Network Solution's contact record. Has anyone had this happen to them? I went to Network Solution's site today to check this out for myself, only to discover that Network Solution's has some of the most confusing and unituitive administration forms on the planet. With this in mind, maybe now may be a good time to think about moving your domains elsewhere.

"Frankly, I can't believe that I'm the only person that this has happened to, and I'd be interested in knowing if anyone else has had the same thing happen. How many Domain Name owners are assuming that their domain is safe from being hijacked as they set up an alternate Guardian scheme when they are now reduced (once again) to Mail-From?

I'm posting this, anonymously, as I don't want my domains hijacked while I get Network Solutions to return me to PGP protection, once again."
