The past two days I suffered on DP by: - Someone hacking into my GoDaddy account and selling my domain on DP - Someone hacking into my DP account and selling other domains. I'd like this investigated further, who hacked into my (and other user's account) and steps to take. Thanks
Immediately change your DP password to a strong password not used anywhere else. If old DP password is used for any other account/accounts, you need to change password on that/those account/accounts as well.
Yes thanks did this already... Could you find out what happened? It was around 10.20am (Hong Kong time) and the hacker was involved in the last 2 threads in my profile were trying to sell domains/sites...
Your DP and GoDaddy accounts are unrelated. If the hacker got access to both, something may be wrong on your PC - you may have a "Key Logger" installed.
Err yes sachin, they are related. - Someone hacked my GoDaddy account, then posted my domain for sale on DP (Using a hacked DP account). I think they made over $2k+ from this! - Someone (I presume is the same person) then hacked my own DP account, then posted other domains/sites for sale. It's a very serious matter, whilst I'm not placing any blame on DP itself...DP is being used as a tool to make money from my accounts and would like DP Mods to investigate further...
I had a keylogger about 2 months ago he hacked my godaddy and dp account. I pm'd shawn right away who banned the account and I emailed they will have you fill out some forms but you should be able to get your domains back. After I got rid of the keylogger I contacted shawn and got my account back.
Well I was losing email accounts, and everything so it was bound to be a keylogger, you can run a crap load of virus checks but I ended up deleting my harddrive that was the only way at the time I could do it.
Ok, I'll take a look. Wondering if the Mods could check it out the accesses though since I've launched a police case on it too. Thanks
One other thing I did was call godaddy they were able to give me the info of where the domains where sent to which name/address/email and etc might help you out.
For access to logs, you'd probably need to contact Shawn (digitalpoint) In the rules, it mentions this: We will of course abide by any court order issued by a US court.
Thanks, I'd prefer not to go into specifics as there's a great chance the hacker is still on this forum...would love to see him (or his team?) caught...
Security is your responsibility, not everyone else's. Now, if your password was changed for DP & GoDaddy then they probably got access to your email account and reset the passwords, which means it may not be a keylogger. If your passwords were not changed then you probably have a keylogger. Either way, it's your own fault (sorry to say)! I suppose DP could release his IP, whether they can or not I don't know as I'm no lawyer and I am not certain of the laws, but if they did you could report his IP to his ISP... providing he didn't use a proxy or VPN. Sorry for your loss of domains/money, but you really must be careful!
OK Helado, thanks for kicking me whilst I'm down and not sure how your comment helped but your words could help others in the same situation/potential situation. I know I'm at fault regarding the passwords and didn't blame DP, but DP is being used as a tool for this hacker who is selling my stolen domain...so hopefully it'll be looked into by Shawn and the other Mods, as the DP user who was selling my domain had his DP account hacked too!
Sorry that it came across that way misohoni, didn't mean it like that. I hope it is resolved and you catch the perpetrator.
Call godaddy and ask to restore all passwords for you if you can't do it they may not help you very well because godaddy support sucks
Is this being looked into? Seems like the focus of this thread was lost but: - Someone hacking into my GoDaddy account and selling my domain on DP - Someone hacking into my DP account and selling other domains. I'd like this investigated further, who hacked into my (and other user's account) and steps to take.
We can give you the IP addresses used to make posts from your account and/or the IP address of the person who changed your email (if they did), but that's all that I can think of that we would have.
