Email follies

[rsc]

Some of you may have heard that the panix.com domain name was hijacked over the weekend. I don't understand the technical details of how this was done, or all its consequences, but what I do know is that mail sent to me at my normal address probably won't arrive. An alternative domain has been established, so if you need to send me email about something, use .net instead of .com until further notice.

Folks at Panix are, from what I understand, working around the clock to get the problem resolved.

A very interesting, if unfortunate, case. Early speculation over at Slashdot is a rogue domain registrar abusing their ability to transfer domain name ownership.
