Domain Theft-for-Ransom Hits css-tricks.com and Others

Posted by timothy on from the low-down-dirty-rotten dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Chris Coyer at css-tricks.com has had his domain transferred from GoDaddy.com to a registrar in Australia where it's being held for ransom. Several other domains have experienced the same theft by what seems to be the same person, and the registrars seem helpless to do anything about it."
