Comcast.net Hacked!

[jhansen]

I couldn't log into my email for the past few hours....finally went to the Comcast.net homepage, saw an 'under construction' page, and instantly went to their whois.

Ouch.

I see nothing at all on Digg, Slashdot, or any major media source, the only thing I could find via Google was a thread in DSLReports:

I'm betting their BitTorrent fight caused this!

The computer attackers who took down Comcast's homepage and webmail service for more than five hours Thursday say they didn't know what they were getting themselves into.

In an hour-long telephone conference call with Threat Level, the hackers known as "Defiant" and "EBK" expressed astonishment over the attention their DNS hijacking has garnered.

And just for your interest:

I think Comcast's NetSol was hacked and not Comcasttt servers..

Article goes that kids used social engineering to gain access to the registrar.
Typically a faxed request works for this as said:

-also this article portrays domainers in a bad light, specifically drop catchers, as in catching a domain from someone who forgot to pay and charging 10k to get it back...
