Well, Matthew, my boy, it appears to have been more than a
simple spyware incident on a Mac or two.

If you're not part of the solution....

Does anyone else think that its a bit odd that if it were simply
"DNS problems" that a redirect for www.google.com would end up
at a location which provided this:

All of the "hack" evidence is from people looking at a whois
query and fretting over:

  Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.SUCKS.FIND.CRACKZ.WITH.SEARCH.GULLI.COM
   IP Address: 80.190.192.24
   Registrar: KEY-SYSTEMS GMBH
   Whois Server: whois.rrpproxy.net
   Referral URL: http://www.key-systems.net

   Server Name: GOOGLE.COM.HAS.LESS.FREE.PORN.IN.ITS.SEARCH.ENGINE.THAN.SECZY.COM
   IP Address: 209.187.114.130
   Registrar: INNERWISE, INC. D/B/A ITSYOURDOMAIN.COM
   Whois Server: whois.itsyourdomain.com
   Referral URL: http://www.itsyourdomain.com

We've been over this before, whois queries also return nameservers,
which people take advantage of.

Seems more than simple "DNS problems" to me.

I hate being played like an idiot....

Wow, one person being redirected to a competitors site, ever heard of
spyware? (Yes, even on a Mac)

bingo! from all appearances

  o google made a dns boo boo which partially damaged their own
    service for somewhat less than an hour. and they published
    a report, albeit one in which we engineers find far too
    little detail.

  o netsol was down for over a day. it was due to an attack.
    the outage affected many sites who pay netsol for the
    service. and they're still trying to pretend nothing
    happened at all. and we get no education on what happened
    so we have a chance of history not repeating itself.

i bet that you can guess which i think deserves the attentions
of the press (i.e. paul).
