did cryptome.org lose it's name?

[Eric Murray]

It looks like cryptome.org's lost it's name:

% ericm(pts/1)# whois crytpome.org
[whois.internic.net]

Whois Server Version 1.3

No match for "CRYTPOME.ORG".

>>> Last update of whois database: Thu, 29 Mar 2001 08:24:30 EST <<<

The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .ORG, .EDU domains and
Registrars.

% ericm (pts/1)# dig crytpome.org any

Coincidence or conspiracy?


http://216.167.120.50 still works though.
