Had a similar experience - my real name has been poached and a dot.com domain set up - to publish false accusations and character defamation - about myself. You may be surprised to learn how this event led me here.

If I could find out how its done I could prevent it happening to my own blogs and though it is small consolation pass the advice on to a friend who has recently had her domain hijacked so it doesn't happen to her again. I just wanted to say how much your story restores my faith in there being more goodies than baddies out there. And also to thank you for taking the time to tell your story in such detail.

Had I not come across this, surely I would have been vulnerable. Thank you so much for this article, though I'm very sorry that the knowledge we all gain from it came at such a cost for you.
