3. You Got Hacked

* A whois lookup (pronounced “who is”) is the name for a query and response protocol—a tool—used to look up the ownership information on a website. To use a whois lookup, you enter a web address into the tool’s search form, and the tool gives you all the public information associated with that website, such as the owner’s name, address, and phone number. Most domain registration companies (such as GoDaddy, Dotster, or HostGator) let you make your information private for a fee, which keeps it out of easy public reach. If you haven’t activated account privacy on websites you’ve registered, do it now—and make sure everyone who shares an address with you has done it for all of their sites as well.
