Domain kidnapped and held for ransom
I stumbled upon this blog entry about a poor fellow whose domain name was stolen by someone breaking into his gmail account and requesting a domain transfer. The thief wants to be paid to return the domain to the rightful owner. Very well written with lots of details about the theft. This is happening right now - Christmas Eve 2007.
