I feel for her but I do need to point out that some of the suggestions she makes for making it easier to get her stolen domain back would also make it easier for bad actors to cause mischief in the first place. But GoDaddy sucks. True dat.

GoDaddy has two-step authentication. If you make any type of money off of a website or other account, you should use two-factor authentication. Facebook, email, and godaddy would be a decent start. A similar incident occurred when the man lost his $50k? twitter account because he didn't use two-factor anywhere.
Godaddy also has proven their Phone Support personell are easy victims to social hacking, which negates any electronic security. If I can call up godaddy and have them change account details or the mobile number on the 2 factor settings then your 2 factor security is pointless.

GoDaddy may have great electronic protections, but I do not trust their phone support personnel at all
