Domain Hijacking Story Still Unresolved.
2005-02-24, HostMan.biz According to reports, an investigation into the hijacking of the domain name of New York-based ISP Panix (panix.com), launched on January 18 by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN.org), has yet to make its findings public. The domain name for Panix was reportedly hijacked over a month ago from domain registrar Dotster (dotster.com) and ended up registered with Melbourne IT (melbourneit.com.au). Melbourne IT acknowledged it was partly to blame and the company has posted explanations for what went wrong. However, it is not known what role Dotster played in the hijacking, if it did at all. Dotster's legal counsel Ravi Puri has said only that the company did nothing wrong and that a competing registrar did not get approval for the domain transfer. Puri also noted that ICANN regulations made the company powerless to stop the transfer. ICANN rules state that when a registrar sends a transfer request to a registry operator, if the name is not on “LOCK,” the registry operator must send an email confirmation to the losing and gaining registrars. It is not known whether that occurred in this case. Panix has made no comments regarding the hijacking. |
