	Technology: Domain Transfers (and Hijackings) to Become Easier 2424 Reads
	Netcraft has a statement posted on their site stateing that "Domain names could become easier to hijack as a change in domain transfer rules takes effect Friday. Under new rules set by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), domain transfer requests will be automatically approved in five days unless they are explicitly denied by the account owner. This is a change from current procedure, in which a domain's ownership and nameservers remain unchanged if there is no response to a transfer request." Read the whole thing here.  So what the _heck_ is going on with this?? Is it just me or is this just plain STUPID?? Any ideas or thoughts about this?? Maybe our resident domain guru Chris will shed some lite on what we can do here. My first thought is a mail filter with a "No F***ing Way" auto-responder attached to it.. should probably log all the activite too so a heavier complaint can be filed..
