Why doesn't ICANN have an appeals mechanism that allows maliciously redirected gTLDs to be returned to their original owner if malice can be demonstrated? Since we now now that "all the safeguards in use" can still be circumvented, why isn't there an after-the-fact
remedy?</div>

Yes, it could be messy. But certainly you must all realize that if this goes unchecked it only opens the door to a new form of ransomware along side "we've encrypted your site".<br>

<p class="gmail-m_8354198719571272498gmail-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" target="_blank">
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" target="_blank">sonomavalleyhospital.org</a> (web) and @<a href="http://sonomavalleyhospital.org" target="_blank">sonomavalleyhospital.org</a> (email),” de la Rosa said.</p>
