This is rather suspicious (and confirmed by three other people): ------------------------------------------------ $ whois amazon.com AMAZON.COM.ZZZZZ.GET.LAID.AT.WWW.SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM AMAZON.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM AMAZON.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.WWW.GULLI.COM AMAZON.COM ------------------------------------------------ whois for yahoo.com and google.com yield similar results.
good evening, someone posted something similar thrue a list a while ago , i think its because amazon was registred with "networksolutions" and so on its not visiblle in the normal "whois " querry ?
I expect this means that DNS has been compromised somewhere.
No compromise, just people getting cute by registering host records. Microsoft.com is a mild example...
No, you should just learn to read WHOIS output :)
you mean its about this ?
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net for detailed information.
