Panix Domain Hijacked
from the ouch dept
Panix, one of the oldest ISPs serving the New York City area, has apparently had its domain hijacked and anyone with a Panix.com email address is out of luck, as all their mail goes to whoever hijacked the domain. So far, from the sound of things, the registrars involved have been anything but helpful in getting the situation resolved. Considering the seriousness of such a hijacking, you would think that registrars would have a process in place to handle such complaints.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
