The above reports are bad enough, but by far the most worrying report that I received was the one alleging that visitors to MLB.COM were being redirected to a pornographic web site - of course, this one is going to get my immediate attention. Sadly, I can confirm that this hijack is occurring - a quick analysis of what is happening is as follows.
