GoDaddy had Makeuseof.com Stolen by Dubai Hacker

Statement by the proper owner of the domain, "Make Use Of's GoDaddy hosting account was hacked earlier today and the domain name, makeuseof.com, was transferred by the hacker to another web hosting company based in Dubai. We have absolutely no idea how this was achieved but we are currently in full contact with GoDaddy's fraud department to get our legal property back. Obviously this is deeply embarrassing for us but we will not rest until the domain name is back in our possession. We have all worked too long and too hard to watch it all slip away like this.

If anyone out there knows someone at GoDaddy, who can help us and who can speed things along, please contact Aibek Esengulov at esengulov@gmail.com. We would be very appreciative!"

Can ICANN please look into this problem. This is not the first time that domains get hijacked from GoDaddy.com

Thank you,
