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...
