Don' see no "security expert's" round here ...

Mitnick site targeted in DNS attack

A Web site belonging to a "security expert" was compromised after hackers 
managed to access a domain name server maintained by the site’s Web host and 
redirect visitors to pages that displayed pornographic images.  It was the second 
time in the past few years that a security lapse at hostedhere.net has allowed 
hackers to redirect the site, the "security expert" told The Register.  At time of 
writing, domain name system records for Mitnick Security have been restored, but 
some users continue to see the fraudulent Web site because many DNS caches still 
show the incorrect information.  The "security expert" whined that, “My site was 
redirected.”  The attackers never gained access to the server hosting the "security 
expert’s" site, and in any event, the "security expert" gave the usual excuse that 
the site did not contain customer lists or other sensitive information.
