New York's Oldest ISP Gets Domain-Jacked

Posted by michael on from the no-respect-for-their-elders dept.

Howard Roark writes "Panix, the oldest commercial Internet provider in New York, had its domain name 'panix.com' hijacked by persons unknown. The main effect on users is that mail sent to panix's customers is being routed to a bogus mail server run by the hijackers."

    how do posts like this get modded up?

    Becuase some of us actually know what goes on here behind the scenes and wants to fight back?

    Why not wait and find out what happens?

    Wait and find out? This happened some years ago and the facts have been solidly established that Michael Sims took the domain away.

    Complain about anything, or in this case nothing, and you're an instant hero.

    Yeah, post some evil facts about someone's injustices and those scumsuckers will make sure they go through hell for it.
