I noticed my handle was hijacked by a company I used to work for. Naturally, I want it back since I went to use it and it's incorrect. My old handle, MH309, is now MH569. Question 1: Did ARIN start expiring unused handles or did something in the process of the hijack cause my handle to increment up to 569, which I'm assuming was the next open number in the in the scheme for 'MH'. Question 2: If an account is passworded, how were they able to take it? Does ARIN not ask for a copy of a license or other photo ID when making voice/fax based changes to POC's? [ Then again, they could've used my photo from the HR files ala I9 documentation ] Thanks, -M
