To recover stolen education domain names — Lawsuit filed

Suit alleges a dozen domain names were stolen using compromised email address.

Texas firm CMN.com LLC has filed a lawsuit to recover 12 domain names it alleges were stolen from it.

As stated by the suit, the thief gained access to one of its email addresses and was able to use this to transfer the domain names to another registrar. The domains have various whois records, but the lawsuit claims that all of the domains were transferred by someone using one IP address.

The firm states it lost these domain names: BestEdSites.com, AssociatesDegree.com, OnlineUniversities.net, NursingDegree.net, ZenCollegeLife.com, OnlineClasses.net, OnlineCourses.net, MastersDegree.com, OnlineColleges.org, MBAOnline.com, OnlineSchool.org and MSNDegree.com.
