This was a great way of blackmailing, I could ever imagine of. The better name to call it would something like ‘Web-nap’, which was faced by World’s second richest man.
Actually this is not a new thing. This has been since a long time.
You set up a business, register for some popular domain names and sell them for big amount. Can any body tell me how it differs from the hijacking of ships by Somalia pirates?
This hasn’t been considered serious till some big man came out into the society to speak against it and spend so much money to fight against it.
The story goes like this: Mexican Tycoon Carlos Slim Helu wanted a website to be set up in his name. But to his shock he finds it already grabbed by some person of Jakarta named Ahmad Rusli. When Carlos approaches gently to this person and asks back his website name, the person starts blackmailing Carlos for a ransom of $55 millions. If Carlos didn’t succumb, the website would be linked to a pornographic website.
Carlos didn’t succumb and started fighting against this Rusli and finally wins over his suit.
