NEWS According to 2600, the problem dates back to June 2000 when the domain's registration was transferred from NSI's registrar database, apparently by using a false email address. According to a statement from the hacking news site: "This resulted in our site both existing and not existing at the same time, as it was entered into the registry database but not into NSI's internal cosmetic database." 2600 claims that this was the reason it received no notification that the domain name was due to expire, allowing NB Productions to snap it up. The statement concluded: "If your site appears to exist and not exist at the same time, you can be sure trouble is on the horizon."
