It locks the domain down and it can't be moved or highjacked without the owner manually 'unlocking' it first.

That's the best advice on protecting your domain.
My problem goes a little beyond that because my registrar account was hacked with a new email contact address from yahoo.com.

That was the only information that was changed but once he gained access to the registrar account that's pretty much it. This is something that most of us wouldn't think about having to keep an eye on and even if you do the system is setup so that when an update change is being made it apparently can't be stopped without another update change being accepted through the system.
