<p>One has to wonder - why is it still ICANN policy to limit domain
name contract terms to a maximum of ten years?</p>

With all the safeguards in use, that's really surprising.<br>

<p class="gmail-first-paragraph">Sonoma Valley Hospital’s
website was hacked earlier this month, forcing the change
of its URL and email addresses, hospital officials
announced last week.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Aug. 6, at 6:30 p.m., the hospital’s domain <a
href="http://svh.com" moz-do-not-send="true">svh.com</a>
was “maliciously acquired,” said Celia Kruse de la Rosa,
the hospital’s communications director.</p>
<p>Hospital CEO Kelly Mather added: “The hijacking of our
domain name was surprising and we are finding out, not
unusual for highly valuable three letter domain names such
as ‘svh.com.’”</p>
<p>When it became apparent that the hospital would not get
the domain name returned, they “began migrating all
internet connectivity to the new and current domain: <a
href="http://sonomavalleyhospital.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">sonomavalleyhospital.org</a>
(web) and @<a href="http://sonomavalleyhospital.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">sonomavalleyhospital.org</a>
(email),” de la Rosa said.</p>
