[CPWG] Interesting domain theft statistic

[Alan Greenberg]

In our discussions related to the Transfer Policy PDP, the issue of 
domain hyjacking and other nefarious actions has come up often, with 
some people claiming it is a major issue and others that it is not. I 
just cam across an interesting  tidbit.

If you register a domain with GoDaddy, one of the things that pops up 
(encouraging you to purchase a service from them) is the attached image.

I have no idea where the statistic of 170,000 attempted domain thefts 
per year comes from.
