domain name ownage at its finest... corperate name changing 101

[MikePanic]

not my domains... just a friends

his local credit union merged and changed names to a regular bank... so it was no longer a .org

forgot to do some basic things...

firstsecuritybankofwashigton.com

and 1stsecuritybankofwashigton.com

note these are NOT hacks... just companys who forgot to register their domain names when changing corp names, lol

Are those the NEW name of the bank? Let's see who gets taken to court for cyber squating. heh heh.

 

[MikePanic]

yupp... thats the new name..

he'll prob end up having to sell them for cost of domain - a whole $6.95 but you gotta admit its funny

i also read that msn forgot to renew hotmail.co.uk last year... hehe

 

[sygyzy]

Funny though the bank will be laughing as they take your friend's domain from him, for free.

 

[MikePanic]

you also gotta understand he was a lil pist because it was a CU switching to a bank....

 

[ThisIsMatt]

[vi edit]

Rather childish IMHO.
