Huh? Google, Yahoo & Microsoft all hacked the same way...?
The.Co.ils blog just posted a nice highlight about some DNS poisoning in the records of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. All were treated the same way and by same group.
Read the whole story + Screenshots here. Basically the 'hackers' are making a common known "DNS poisoning" and are attaching the original domain names to some typically spammy domains.
Here are 2 of them that I actually kinda liked:
- GOOGLE.COM.HAS.LESS.FREE.PORN.IN.ITS.SEARCH.ENGINE.THAN.SECZY.COM
- MICROSOFT.COM.AND.MINDSUCK.BOTH.SUCK.HUGE.ONES.AT.EXEGETE.NET
(Tags: google, yahoo, microsoft, dns hacking, funny stuff, the.co.ils )
Not really "hacking", not even close.
I can also open a sub-domain on my personal server and call it: google.com.eliram.com
This will make my domain appear in the whois search for the sub-string "google.com" as well.
Did I hack google by doing that? Not quite.
:-)
But it's funny, non the less.
Can google or microsoft do anything about that? no. Just as it's improbable that they act against me because I mentioned google.com in this response.
This also has nothing to do with true DNS poisoning, by the way. Totally different thing.
