Well, Matthew, my boy, it appears to have been more than a simple spyware incident on a Mac or two. If you're not part of the solution.... - ferg -- "Matthew S. Hallacy" <poptix@poptix.net> wrote: On Sun, May 08, 2005 at 02:18:19AM +0000, Fergie (Paul Ferguson) wrote:
Does anyone else think that its a bit odd that if it were simply "DNS problems" that a redirect for www.google.com would end up at a location which provided this:
All of the "hack" evidence is from people looking at a whois query and fretting over: Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.SUCKS.FIND.CRACKZ.WITH.SEARCH.GULLI.COM IP Address: 80.190.192.24 Registrar: KEY-SYSTEMS GMBH Whois Server: whois.rrpproxy.net Referral URL: http://www.key-systems.net Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.HAS.LESS.FREE.PORN.IN.ITS.SEARCH.ENGINE.THAN.SECZY.COM IP Address: 209.187.114.130 Registrar: INNERWISE, INC.

Seems more than simple "DNS problems" to me.
I hate being played like an idiot....

Precisely. Please review the data before posting 'omg google was hacked!' to public mailing lists.

bingo! from all appearances o google made a dns boo boo which partially damaged their own service for somewhat less than an hour. and they published a report, albeit one in which we engineers find far too little detail. o netsol was down for over a day. it was due to an attack. the outage affected many sites who pay netsol for the service. and they're still trying to pretend nothing happened at all. and we get no education on what happened so we have a chance of history not repeating itself. i bet that you can guess which i think deserves the attentions of the press (i.e. paul). randy
