David Airey's domain got hacked/cracked just a week before Christmas and he was lucky to have a redirected domain which allowed his blog to stay online and also his message spread across the internet quickly with 3,700 diggs and other social sites. A total of 50,000 unique visitors understand the pain and trouble David is going through.

I am surprised by how thoughful his dedicated host was as David could have got his blog crashed when over 50,000 visitors comes in daily after hearing his news and it was just a good job done by his host. Just yesterday, David had to go through a list of documents and photocopied details of himself before goDaddy released the domain back to him and of course that could not have been done without the help of the internet people.


Using Gmail with Secure Responses
Make sure your security portion is covered and you have done the correct settings to your Gmail account so that you will not be the next victim like David which he explains how you can set your filters on your Gmail. It is your responsibility if you want to use a free email service like Gmail for your business. It is the same service many are using but if you do cover your measures right then you should not have such a problem surfacing.

The Internet People
You can call then surfers, readers or even net passerby who wants a piece of this unique story that could have been seen as a hoax or even a deliberate act by David to create a crowd, but it was the people who are on the internet who helped David restored his dot com domain and he is proud of those who have helped him in communicating and guiding him along the way, and those who have helped spread the news through their daily rumbles or even on social news site which attracted that many people to know about this story and that we will never give in to hacker/cracker who are trying to be funny with us.

What we have learned through David's lesson?
Although David had lost his domain in the first place but since he had done a redirect route to his dot co uk domain, his blog is up and running and this should be the precaution action you should take if there is a possible hijack of your domain, why not purchase another domain under your same name but you might want to try (.net, .info). Anyway a domain from godaddy only cost $9.99, if you are making money online then that amount should not be too different i guess.
