Look this pics.. Google got hacked for about 1 hour and so.. http://www.4null4.de/247/dns-hijack-live-und-in-farbe/ Can you believe this - if it can happen with world giant google, then we cannot prevent ours for being hacked
I would (and I did start) translate the page, but I'd just suggest using a free trnaslation, a bit too busy now. Long story short, 'domain grabbers' tried to 'sieze' the domain, or something to the sort, and the whois entry changed a number of times.
Yeah it was grabbed and that screen shows: "This domain currently has no content" come back later... LOL
This is inaccurate; the site wasn't hacked, it just wasn't renewed in time (which I find hard to believe as it is)
It wasnt renewed? How can a big company like Google forget to renew a domain, I wonder how much they paid to get it back.
Sometimes, another method used by hackers, is forcibly unparking a domain. I can't say that this happened here, but it is a possibility.
the sad thing is that some little guy grabbed it, and google just said ... we have laywers and we have money ... Mr Registrar Give us the domain NOW !
