Google WHOIS Hacked??

http://www.whois.org/whois_new.cgi?d=google&tld=com

I just saw this on Digg and thought it was another classic joke! Take a look at what the WHOIS information says, just in case they change it in the future:

This is so odd, can anyone tell me what's going on?

 

just a small inclusion, this is not the same result in all WHOIS results, just this one for some reason

 

Probably people at the Whois server sold modification rights to these people.

Afterall its their data, and the actual data is nowhere changed

I don't understand, what does that mean? The registry was altered by someone?

 

Not the actual registry

You see the whois server YOU are checking Google's whois on is a private server that takes the official data from ICANN or the registrars and then makes it available for the general public on their own servers.

Now, the owners of this whois server sold modification rights to the Google whois record ON THEIR server to someone else, so that person altered it in this way, it is also very probable that the Whois server people did this themselves for a joke of some kind

Hope you have understood now

Insted of showing the real whoisa data you show something what you want to show.

 

Someone registered a nameserver with the root servers under each of those domains, and some whois clients don't do an exact match.

You'll find the same thing if you whois microsoft.com or any of thousands of other domains with the same whois tool.

 

Man, are you people really that stupid? That page doesn't give you a whois record for that domain. THIS is a whois record. The whois.org tool just shows you domains from their cache that have the string "google.com" in them.

 

That is just plain stupid. Changing one whois site for a joke? Must really hate google.

Thank You

 

and is much more easy to hack that website than a whois of a domain..

 

Great bit of Link Bait by some clever fellow Dutchies.

 

So does that mean he's wrong:

Does that mean any domain name can get in there?

 

Yes, because it's not a whois record. I can't make that any clearer for those folks here who don't want to understand that. It's simply the domains they have in their cache that contain the string "google.com". Why that's so difficult to understand is beyond me.

 

I get it. I was thinking the other way as I had seen someone selling his highly popular whois database's whois entries publicly and people were buying them. Although only a few damn popular websites' whois entries were up for auction, like Google etc.

Hmm although Icheb, that thing is meant to be a whois database right? You are saying that they are presenting whois in a wrong manner?

lol that gave me a loaugh

 

That boldface font helped Thanks I get it now!
