Re: NY ISP's domain hijacked

What I have learned today is that if you want to be a successful
hijacker or scammer: Choose a weekend for your sinister plan. No one
will react timely to complaints of your victims. panix.com being one
example and american-redcross.org (it's a scam, don't donate!) being
another. american-redcross.org isn't a hijacked domain (as far as I
know). It's just the usual attempt at a scam and conveniently started on
a saturday. Neither hosting company (Yahoo!) nor registrar have done
anything (visible to the outside) yet.

So beware of weekends.
