.pk domain name system hacked.

[chodhry]

I don't know if any of you have stumbled upon this blog post. Looks like a serious threats to all .pk domain owners.

Meet the new ex-owner of google.com.pk, jang.com.pk and a dozen other top .pk(Pee-Kay-NIC) domains…

That guy has successfully added some of the top .pk domains to his panel and even a dns change could have created a havoc on the Pakistani Internet Activities.

I wonder what kind of company is managing the PKNIC.

isn't this a big news?

Its big because a whole TLD got hacked, but not big because its a small one. I guess we will have to see what the Pakistanian government does.

Thanks for sharing. I missed your first posting.

This is concerning to us (?few) .PK holders!

I have had reasonable success selling generic .PK for high XXX via Sedo.

It seems my little .PKs are safe in their nest but I hope PKNIC has tightened their security.

Wow that is interesting news....good thing he wasn't a 'real' hacker...

 

[chodhry]

well, things could have been very bad for PKNIC if any dns had been changed. But they got lucky this time and I hope they do learn their lesson.
