You steal the domain name, not the website so to speak. Which would mean someone got their registrar credentials most likely.

- TurdF3rguson 7mo agoAnd transferred it away? Registrars make it really hard to do that if you're not the actual person. I'm finding it hard to believe someone can do this anonymously.
- iwontberude 7mo agoYeah that’s because it’s not what happened. It’s a common expiration snipe.
- TurdF3rguson 7mo agoThat's neither hacking nor stealing
- coldtea 7mo agoLegally and technically no, but it borders on both...
- TurdF3rguson 7mo agoNo it doesn't. If you were careless and let your domain expire, anyone can register it. There is no legal gray area here. If you otherwise have a copyright claim to the name that's a separate issue.
- rezonant 7mo agoExcept the domain did not expire, if you check WHOIS.
- iwontberude 7mo agoOh my bad. Top comment when I had said this was a claim that it was expiration related. Sorry for piling on to the claim.
