Domain Hijacked
Hello! Not sure what todo here.
I've been looking after a freinds domain, and managed it via my Cloudflare DNS account. His domain was registered with register.com and pointed to Cloudflare Name Servers. My freinds register,com account got hacked, looks like register,com support worker fell victim to the attacker using legitmate id/verification. And it wasnt noticed for some time (who checks emails 24/7!)
The domain has been moved from my cloudflare management to another cloudflare account, and the attacker appears to have moved the domain to CloudFlare, which should help verify it in some ways?
What can i do, who do i need to contact? The only way my freind can verify its his is via phone/ID. As he now has no access to his emails, that was pointed at google apps.
