This is a coordinated hacking. (Was Re: Need help in flushing DNS)

[jamie rishaw <j () arpa com>]

This is most definitely a coordinated and planned attack.

And by 'attack' I mean hijacking of domain names.

I show as of this morning nearly fifty thousand domain names that appear
suspicious.

I'm tempted to call uscentcom and/or related agencies (which agencies, who
the hell knows, as ICE seems to have some sort of authority over domains
(nearly two hundred fifty of them as I type this in COM alone and another
thirty-some in NET).

Anyone credentialed (credentialed /n/., "I know you or know of you,")
wanting data, e-mail me off-list for some TLD goodness.
