Return domain

Hello! Here's the situation: I am the owner of a DE domain that has been registered for quite some time. It was originally registered with namecheap. However, several months ago, I discovered that I had been hаcked and my namecheap control panel was stolen, making it impossible for me to access it.

To regain control of the domain, I contacted Naunet and gained access to it through them. However, there has been no response from either the hаcker or Naunet's technical support team for several months. The hаcker changed the DNS settings to his own, and I've been changing them back every week. I've also been receiving strange and incomprehensible messages from unidentified senders.

Despite all of this, the domain is registered under my name and according to my passport, everything is in order. But what can be done to take back control from the hаcker or from Naunet, who are no longer responding to my requests?

Feel free to let me know if there's anything else you'd like me to add on this topic!

It might be a good idea to change your registrar to a more reliable one as well as updating your password. Additionally, it seems you haven't yet restored your email access and it's unclear what exactly the situation is regarding your domain settings. If the domain name is registered under your name, then it was not technically "stolen" but rather accessed without your permission.

To provide you with assistance, we would need you to provide us with a detailed explanation of the situation from start to finish. It is worth noting that matters like this are typically resolved through legal channels and court proceedings.

It's high time to switch to a more reliable registrar. Cutbacks on registrars could result in losing your domain if it's ever hijacked.

Additionally, it might be useful to seek out advice from a specialized lawyer who can guide you through the legal process of getting your domain back.

It sounds like a complex situation, and it may be best to seek professional legal advice or consult with an internet governance organization specific to your country or region. However, here are a few steps you could consider:

1. dоcument Everything: Keep records of all your communication attempts, changes you've made, messages received, and any relevant evidence related to the hacking incident.

2. Contact Naunet Again: Even if they haven't responded in the past, it's worth reaching out to Naunet again. Provide them with all the information you have, explain the situation, and request their assistance in regaining control of your domain.

3. Report the Hacking Incident: File an official complaint with local law enforcement or a cybercrime unit. Provide them with all the details you have regarding the hacking incident and any evidence you have gathered.

4. Consult Legal Advice: Seek the counsel of an attorney who specializes in internet law or domain disputes. They can guide you on the best legal course of action to regain control of your domain.

5. Reach Out to ICANN: If Naunet does not respond or refuses to cooperate, you can contact the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to report the situation and seek their guidance.

6. Monitor the Domain: Keep a close eye on your domain to ensure that the hacker does not make any further unauthorized changes. Regularly check the DNS settings, WHOIS information, and any other relevant settings associated with your domain.

7. Consider Legal Action: If all else fails, you may need to pursue legal action against the hacker or Naunet. Your attorney can advise you on the best course of action based on the specific circumstances of your case and the laws in your jurisdiction.

8. Explore Alternative Dispute Resolution: Look into alternative dispute resolution methods such as arbitration or mediation. These can be less time-consuming and costly compared to traditional litigation, and they may help resolve the issue more efficiently.

9. Reach out to Namecheap: Although you mentioned that the initial hacking incident involved your Namecheap control panel, it might still be worth contacting them to inform them of the situation. They may be able to provide guidance or assistance, especially if they have any information or logs related to the incident.

10. Educate Yourself: Take the time to educate yourself about domain name security and best practices to minimize the risk of future incidents. This could include using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and regularly updating your security measures.
