one months ago ,my domain was push to other account in enom without my permision.

I have the very complex password. And this is the second to be black. My friend told me. His account which has more than 80 domain names. His account also stolen. I think ENOM likely to be hacked. Because we have been installed inside the computer antivirus software.

But they do not acknowledge the existence of security issues

so hurry to remind you look whether ENOM account . Reduce losses.

johnlee, it's been my experience that when the entire system of a registrar has been breached / hacked news of that will spread like wildfire - massively and widely.

If you aren't seeing discussion of the breach "all over the place" - especially with a larger registrar - that odds are the problem isn't the registrar's system.

Check Twitter. Check multiple authoritative domain blogs. Check news feeds. Check all the domain forums. If the hacking isn't the top news then . . . it's you. You can have the most complex password but if you use public wifi or allow others on your PC or don't use antivirus software and keep your PC's OS up to date . . etc . . then the problem and the "fix" is in your house, not Enom's.

FWIW, I don't use Enom so I have no direct experience of the issue nor do I have any reason to defend their interests. I have my own crummy (of late) registrar.
