Taken from he Dynadot site:
Near 50 names with extension .ws of 1, 2 and 3 letters they have been stolen to a Spanish individual who had registered the above mentioned names across Dynadot.
Without explaining to him initially the motive the client has met this evening that his her portfolio of names had eliminated and had the money spent(consumed) in the names solvent.
On having gone to Dynadot, these have answered her that for these names exist other tariffs. On the other hand, the client could register the above mentioned names in Dynadot to 7,99 dollars, could change the DNS and park the above mentioned authorities in SEDO and MONIKER, managing to generate money each of them for traffic until the authorities were stolen from her.
Commotion in Spain and in the forums of names....

We apologize to the Dynadot customer that this happened to.
When we added the new bulk search page, we forgot to check that WS domains must be 4 characters long. So one of our customers was able to register a lot of 1, 2, and 3 character WS domain names yesterday.
Unfortunately, the WS registry charges us more for short WS domains:
3 char: $500
2 char: $1000
1 char: $50000
That is why we don't allow the registration of these domain names. So when we found out about the bug, we deleted the domains, and issued the customer an account credit. We can also issue a full refund to the credit card if that is better.
Once again we apologize for the inconvenience.
Implications? :confused:
