Is this with strict NXDOMAIN rewriting, or were existing names redirected as well? (AFAIK, most platforms do the latter, hijacking bfk.de, for example.)
Has anybody tried bringing a criminal complaint for interference with computer (network) data? Certainly, hijacking google.com NS records to JOMAX.NET would be a criminal interference.
