It’s being reported all over the net that Comcast was hacked (just check this link, this link, and this link for examples) late yesterday. Apparently their Network Solutions account was compromised so that the authoritative DNS servers that tell your computer how to get to comcast.net were changed to send traffic a page that said the following:
KRYOGENICS Defiant and EBK RoXed Comcast
sHouTz to VIRUS Warlock elul21 coll1er seven
I don’t know who should be more embarrassed. Comcast for having an Network Solutions account that could be compromised or Network Solutions for allowing it to happen. In any case, it may take until tomorrow to get everything up and running again. Hopefully, both Comcast and Network Solutions can make sure that this doens’t happen again. Otherwise it will be totally Comcastic for both of them.
