David Airey is a classic example of an unfortunate person who got hit by unscruptous hackers crackers hoping to profiteer from his hard-earned site. David blames his stolen domain on a GMail security flaw (now patched of course), but that’s only half the problem. It has shown that there is not enough done to curb domains being stolen.

Lost your domain? Go public

That’s what David did. He posted it on his alternate blog address. Fortunately his blog is popular enough that that story ended up on Digg and Sphinn. That’s not all folks. These articles were so popular that it ended up on numerous places (talk about link bait). Things have a way of coming around. Want to know where did his famous post ended up on?
-New York Times
-Digg
-Reddit
-Lifehacker
-StumbleUpon
-Tons of others

So, what happens to the domain? David gets back his rightfully owned domain. While Godaddy (where the domain was transfered to) was unwilling to return the domain at first, some loyal visitors had a talk with the founder and co., getting them into returning the domain. So, who wins? The people, and some pretty awesome linkbait.

You may be wondering what happens to that cracker. After having him “exposed” to the public about his deeds, he may not attempt to steal another domain anytime soon.

The added bonus

If you managed to pull all of that off, you get… thousands of links and visitors. Kind of a nice “compensation” for your time and worry of your precious domain being stolen ain’t it?
