I remember David Airey had his domain stolen and the whole community worked together to help him get it back which he did.geansai gormMon, 03 Nov 2008 13:12:39 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/7132/hacker-steals-makeuseofcom-domain-blackmails-owner/#comment-3457379I doubt it strongly, that it has something to do with a GMail account. It's ridiculous. The problem in on Godaddy not on GMail, I'm pretty sure.ryoMon, 03 Nov 2008 12:04:06 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/7132/hacker-steals-makeuseofcom-domain-blackmails-owner/#comment-3457195so, ace reporter, tell me how the gmail account was hacked, since i would guess about 80% of your readers have one, and a bit more from godaddy please ... when can i expect a follow up story? ... are you on it? or is this just a drive-by? inquisitr minds want to know ...gregorylentMon, 03 Nov 2008 11:52:59 -0000http://www.inquisitr.com/7132/hacker-steals-makeuseofcom-domain-blackmails-owner/#comment-3456995The blackmailer didn't state what currency he wanted to be paid in - as he was making it simple and easy - agree to pay him in zimbabwe dollars :)Stephen KellyMon, 03 Nov 2008 11:39:43 -0000
