We are currently looking into a very serious error involving our main
domain name, "panix.com". It has either been stolen, or been the victim
of a very bizarre technical failure on the part of one or more domain
registrars or some part or the global DNS system. Some of the entities
involved in this failure appear to be in Canada, Great Britain, and
Australia, and it's proving challenging to untangle so far. We are of
course working on resolving this as soon as possible, since this failure
impacts *all* services that use the panix.com name.

Since the errors (or theft) are controlled by domain registrars, and not
by us, this is not a simple technical failure that we can resolve on our
own by working hard enough. This is a failure of the underlying fabric of
the Internet. Since we are reliant on registrars to fix this problem in
their databases, we can't provide a definite estimated time to fix this
problem. We will however provide updates as soon as we know anything else.
