Whether you are a new webmaster or an experienced one, you may encounter the challenge of domain hijacking sooner or later in the SEO industry. Many webmasters who experience domain hijacking are troubled by the generation of a large number of spam pages, which can lead to panic. If you discover it early, there's still time to address it.

1. Disable wildcard DNS resolution for the domain

To disable domain resolution, you must have access to the domain's management account and password.
