Domain Name News has reported the first ever criminal prosecution case for domain name theft.
The case involves the alleged theft of the domain p2p.com by the accused Daniel Goncalves. He reportedly hacked into an AOL email account and then used it to internally push the domain name to his account at GoDaddy. The domain was subsequently sold on eBay for $111,000 to Mark Madsen, NBA basketball player.
On July 30th, Daniel Goncalves was arrested at his home in New Jersey.
