Confirmation of receipt of the transfer request at Verisign for panix.com
When a registrar sends a transfer request to the registry operator (and the name is not on Registrar LOCK), the registry operator sends a confirmation email to both the losing and gaining registrar. Here is the copy of the email Melbourne IT received.

Thanks for providing a copy of the e-mail Bruce. You've been extraordinarily forthcoming on NANOG. I wish that Dotster, as the losing registrar, was as willing to discuss the hijack of panix.com as you as a representative of the gaining registrar, Melbourne IT, have been. -Richard

According to http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1751981,00.asp there were actually several other domains hijacked over the weekend (aem.com, f3.com) in addition to panix.com. While those other domains were transfered to different registrar (not MIT), apparently all of them were previously with Dotster. Hmm... -- William Leibzon Elan Networks william@elan.net

I wonder if they have anything to share?
