Things are only scary when people are ignorant, weak and just waiting to be subverted. Truth is - unless you know how to use the Internet - perhaps you shouldn't be using it. As in everything in life - there are upside and downsides. There is no substitute for education. Things are only scary when people are ignorant, weak and just waiting to be subverted.

I find it completely disturbing that the host so easily , without confirmation of ID gave up the Domain. The host should never have used email as "proof positive" of the client regardless of how "big" they are! Important information like that should always be made using a phone call and specific details about the person, site and so on should be asked for! It also gives them a chance to source feedback if they can, highly important if you give a damn about the business! That tech guy should be sacked IMO! Scary really!

Maybe that is a good failsafe, multiple e-mail accounts on the registration info.
