Domain hijack

Okay kiddo, let me explain domain hijacking to you in the most simple way possible. You know how every website has a unique name, right? Like, Google.com, Facebook.com, and so on? These names are called domain names.

So, imagine you have a toy that you really love and someone comes and takes it away from you without your permission. That's basically what domain hijacking is. Someone takes control of a website's domain name without the authorization of the owner.

Now, let's understand how this happens. A domain name is like an address that tells your computer where to find a website. When you type a domain name into your browser, it sends a request to a server that stores the website files. The server then sends those files back to your browser so you can see the website.

If a hacker gains access to the account that controls the domain name, they can change the settings to redirect traffic to another website or even steal sensitive data. This is very bad because it can harm the reputation of the website and cause financial losses.

So, it's important to protect your domain name by using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and monitoring your account for any unauthorized access. Just like you protect your toys from someone taking them away, you need to protect your website's domain name from being hijacked.
