Domain 21century-mp3.com, that belongs to a webmaster that I used to have link exchange with was hacked 1-2 months ago.
The ex webmaster - Maurice has no idea how this has happened. For a while he was hosted with the hacker`s company. The company is called fiber-projects.com and operated buy a dutch guy Dennis Steyfa.
Maurice called tucows and some other companies and they all said it was a legal transfer. There are 40+ webmasters who know that this is not true. We all know Maurice and used to be partners with him for more than 4 years. Because of the hacker he now had to buy a new domain name 21century-mp3.nu, but he lost approximately 15.000 daily unique visitors because of this.
I just e-mailed OpenSRS legal support and am waiting for their answer. Perhaps if all webmasters that know him would put some pressure on Tucows, we might get it back. Another option is, we pay this guy a visit
What else can we do? All suggestions are welcome.
Tomorrow, when I talk again to Maurice I will know some more details about this and will update the thread. Such things really piss me off. That could happen to anyone of us. :\
