I see that DNS changes has been reverted
http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=panix.com

I have also contacted our Customer owner of ns1.ukdnsservers.co.uk
[panix.com] (142.46.200.67) they have assured me they will remove the
DNS config as well. 


Sorry for the last response I was away for weekend.

Subject: domain hijacking - what do you do to prepared?


Until today, I considered this to be a real and relevant threat, 
although rather low in my matrix.

As someone I know said today, now that kiddies saw how much "fun" this 
is, I am sure they will attempt this again.

The question that comes to mind is - what do you do to be prepared?

I suppose that other than setting registrar lock in place, there is 
another thing one can do.

Study!

Whether it's checking the expiration date for your domain, establishing 
contact with your up-in-line authority - registrar, tld, etc. depending 
on who you are.
Having the relevant contact information at hand, establishing a set 
policy on how to handle such an incident and who to contact, bugging 
your next-in-chain about setting a policy on this with you, as well as 
setting such a policy for those who are slaves to you.

That said, all that is left now is to see how this happened (so that it 
won't happen again - just killing a fire doesn't mean it won't be 
re-ignited) and perhaps think a bit on how we do things - which I am 
sure many will now do.

Maybe this can be another discussion issue for the next NANOG 
get-together as well?
