  123-Reg Domain Hijack?

I bought a new domain a couple of days back. I was just checking to see that the dns had propogated and it was all working fine... type in the url and get forwarded to some other website not the 123 reg holding page!! I was slightly concerned that somehow I hadn't actually registered the name but these guys go in before me. So I check my account and its still there, I check whois and its still mine, so I look at the web forwarding details in 123 reg and find that this other site has been put in!!! Now I have no idea how that happened because I didn't do it! I have never heard of the site before and its got me a little spooked that someone has managed to gain access and change the forwarding! :eek: All my other domains appear to be fine but I have since changed my password will be contacting 123 reg about this. So for all you guys using them, check your domains to make sure there are no hijack attempts!!

Barry seems to know their stuff
Is it working ok now?

If not, try resetting the nameservers for the domain as ns.hosteurope.com and ns2.hosteurope.com?

FleaPit i had 4 domain names hijacked on 123-reg always by guys who are domain name brokers

I got all of them back because 123-reg had no prove that i transfered the names to them.
