I don't think Domain hijacking is a terribly big threat. First of all, the modification process insn't fully automated. Second of all, it takes several weeks for the changes to go through. Before the changes go through, the internic sends out mail to a bunch of people, including all previous administrators and administrators of all domains which contain old or new nameservers. Thus, I'd say the domain modification process is slightly more secure than First Virtual :-) :-) :-). It relies on the security of the network routers and existing nameservers, and requires one or more active attacks or viruses to defeat. Probably your best is to wait for as many as possible of the relevant sysadmins to go on vacation, and then mail-bomb them rest so hard they end up not reading all of their real E-mail. Then again, there's always the possibility that the domain administrator knows how to use procmail... David
