MaxMind was founded in 2002 by Thomas "TJ" Mather and is based in Waltham, Massachusetts. [3] In an unusual technical glitch, a farmstead about 4 miles northeast of Potwin, Kansas became the default site of 600 million IP addresses (due to their lack of fine granularity) when the digital mapping company changed the putative geographic center of the contiguous United States from 39.8333333,-98.585522 to 38.0000,-97.0000[4][5] leading to law enforcement agents and others visiting the farmstead at all hours of the day and night. A lawsuit by the owners of the property at those coordinates filed a lawsuit against MaxMind, which was settled via alternative dispute resolution in September 2017.[6][7] References1. ^{{cite news|last1=Hill|first1=Kashmir|title=How an internet mapping glitch turned a random Kansas farm into a digital hell|url=http://fusion.net/story/287592/internet-mapping-glitch-kansas-farm/|accessdate=11 April 2016|work=Fusion|date=10 April 2016}} 2. ^{{cite news|last1=Weinberger|first1=Matt|title=This company made a decision in 2002 that's making life miserable for an 82-year-old woman and her Kansas farm|url=http://www.businessinsider.in/This-company-made-a-decision-in-2002-thats-making-life-miserable-for-an-82-year-old-woman-and-her-Kansas-farm/articleshow/51771353.cms|accessdate=11 April 2016|work=Business Insider India|date=10 April 2016}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.maxmind.com/en/company|title={{!}} MaxMind|website=www.maxmind.com|access-date=2019-02-15}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=https://splinternews.com/how-an-internet-mapping-glitch-turned-a-random-kansas-f-1793856052 | title=How an internet mapping glitch turned a random Kansas farm into a digital hell | publisher=Splinter News | date=10 April 2016 | accessdate=2016-04-10 | author=Hill, Kashmir}} 5. ^Kansas couple sues over internet glitch targeting their home; The Wichita Eagle; August 8, 2016. 6. ^{{Cite web |url=https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/08/kansas-couple-sues-ip-mapping-firm-for-turning-their-life-into-a-digital-hell/ |title=Kansas couple sues IP mapping firm for turning their life into a "digital hell": Company fixed the error, but it may be years before the issue is resolved. |date=2016-08-10 |access-date=2016-08-10 |website= Ars Technica |publisher= |last=Farivar |first=Cyrus}} 7. ^{{Cite Pacer |plaintiff= Arnold et al |defendant= MaxMind, Inc.|title= ADR Report|date=5 August 2015 |case-division= Wichita |case-year=16 |case-type=cv |case-sequence=01309 |case-state=ks |case-district=d |doc-number=78 |att-number= |pacer-number=113009 |access-date=4 May 2018 |use-pacer=yes |use-recap= |case-title= |recap-number= |ref= }} External links
