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."
