For those of you who may have forgotten (or never knew), here is the story
of the hi jacking of the InteraNIC web site in 1997.
Question: Would DNSSEC have prevented this hi jacking?

* HACKER PLEADS GUILTY
Eugene Kashpureff, the domain name system hacker who
successfully rerouted millions of Web users last year,
pleaded guilty to federal charges of computer fraud. As part
of the plea, Kashpureff admitted causing damages of only
$15,000, considerably less than the "hundreds of thousands
of dollars" in damages cited in original charges, one of his
attorneys said. The charges stemmed from Kashpureff's
actions last summer, when he rerouted all Web traffic headed
for Network Solutions' InterNIC page to his own AlterNIC
page in protest over InterNIC's claim of ownership of .com,
org, and .net. (Net Insider, 20 March 1998)
