Have you ever considered security issues related to owning a domain name and web site?
Websites are under attack by Phishing and other schemes like the case which happened
to CheckFree. The criminals were able to take control of several CheckFree Web domains after
logging into the company's domain registrar, Network Solutions, and changing the
CheckFree DNS settings. It is not clear how the attackers were able to get CheckFree's
Network Solutions password, but some security experts believe that CheckFree may have fallen
prey to a phishing attack. Regardless of how it was obtained the outcome is history.
If a hacker or other unscrupulous individual succeeds in accessing and changing your domain
information they have control to do anything they desire until you regain control of your domain.
