Probably the draft release was hurried for publication and the "working title" was not renamed. They discovered it and quickly fixed it. As far as the DNS, I imagine the FBI has some flexible hosting to avoid dDos attacks and the like. I wouldn't be concerned about the name change or DNS shifts (not saying I wouldn't be concerned about the subject of the press release).

Hi All, I hope I'm posting this to the right list. I'm most likely just paranoid but is there something weird going on with the fbi.gov site? 1. The new warning that they put out was /pressrel/pressrel01/skyfall.htm 2. Then it was changed to /pressrel/pressrel01/101101.htm 3. So after seeing the first url change I tried to go back to skyfall.htm and I got a Not Found error with a link that said to go back to or notify the refering site. By clicking this I went to the Yahoo! email login site. I had just opened my browser at home for the first time today, so it wasn't a cache or anything. 4. Now as I look further by looking at DNS at COSTE, UXN and geektools.com I find differing ip addresses. COSTE reports 216.200.14.114, while the two others (which look truer to me) 64.124.161.77. Is anyone else seeing this?? Thanks for being patient with my paranoia. C.
