- Tytn, on 07/06/2008, -1/+39www.icann.com looks like its been stuck in time since 1997
- Rikkochet, on 07/06/2008, -2/+31That would be the one comment in history where I would have accepted a "lol am i rite" at the end of it.
- orirawlings, on 07/06/2008, -0/+23This wasn't their fault. This was an attack on an internet registration company that holds the ICANN ".com" domains.
- iofthestorm, on 07/06/2008, -1/+19Syntax error: Terminating ) without opening (. :(
Oh, is that a right to left frowney? - Atomic1fire, on 07/06/2008, -1/+19ICANNot believe this
- MacBookForMe, on 07/06/2008, -2/+19Probably Google knows much more about their entire business activities than the Agency itself):
- BedPost, on 07/06/2008, -2/+17Did any of you idiots read the article? Another company was tricked into giving away the domain - it was recovered within 20 minutes. This is a non-event.
- MasterThief117, on 07/06/2008, -1/+12This is kinda ironic.
- redwallhp, on 07/06/2008, -0/+9ICANN has domainz?
- themoose, on 07/06/2008, -0/+9ICANN
- Sephr, on 07/06/2008, -2/+11The RIAA, because they make _everything_ better.
- i3x171um, on 07/06/2008, -3/+11Whatever group did that- well, they pretty much won hacking. That's amazing.
- inactive, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8What the ***** is WTF?
- fredJdukes, on 07/06/2008, -0/+8it's interesting to me that the guys who are supposed in charge of this lost control of it at all
- explnx, on 04/27/2009, -0/+7I think, You. Mixed up the period and (comma) there a few sǝɯıʇ .
- humanerror, on 07/06/2008, -1/+8They're doing a heckuva job.
- cutchyacokov, on 07/06/2008, -1/+8ICANN hardly believe this joke can survive many more incarnations.
- niczar, on 07/06/2008, -0/+7Those were not addresses (a.b.c.d or x:y::z), those were /domain names/.
- FatBird19, on 07/06/2008, -1/+6I wonder if GoDaddy bought it...
- KMartSheriff, on 07/06/2008, -0/+5WTF do you mean?

http://www.zone-h.org/content/view/14973/1/ - virtualonliner, on 07/06/2008, -0/+4I think, it was not their fault. A number of .com domains were hijacked. Almost like their Domain Registrar was hacked. Here is ICANN's press release, although it does not make it clear. But that's what is looks like.
http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement ... - anarchyx34, on 07/06/2008, -0/+3ICANN haz my IP addresses back plz?
- mrjit, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2MSNBC providing you hacker news straight from NANOG 2 weeks late.
- lizard450, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2i'll bet you there anonymous registrar is network solutions those guys are tools
- iJump, on 07/06/2008, -0/+2Wrong! That would be Braum's.
- wannapiece, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2misleading title...
"The domain names hijacked were ICANN.com and IANA.com[...]
Visitors to those addresses are normally redirected automatically to the organization's main sites at ICANN.org and IANA.org, neither of which was affected by the attack."
So they didn't loose their primary addresses, just redirecting pages at similar domian names - IRPro, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2Time to change ICANN's name to ICAN'T
It's sad that nothing is safe online... all these hackers are doing is bringing us closer and closer to Govt. Intervention and regulation... it's a shame...cause it's such a fun and free place right now :( - AlienMushroom, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1The name got transferred...
- xcvbn, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1confused-they lost the dns/dns hacked, such as ip or nameserver change ; or register.com, where the names are registered at, some how gave the names up for 20minutes? If it was a dns hack, didnt that also happen approx 2mo ago, or is this the same event?
- wshs, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1It took 20 minutes for the guys on top of it all to regain control. It took days for PANIX to regain their domain, and they're a legacy ISP (domain registered in 1991). Imagine how long it'd take for for an average Joe who registered in 2004 to regain control of his domain after a hijacking. It's an issue because the domain registration system favors the elite and powerful. It's an issue because hijacking is possible.

- YodaJones, on 07/06/2008, -1/+2ICANN have always been *****. Gee, let's put together another committee and try to make decisions on how the Internet should be managed because committees work so well. Let's have lunch and discuss things Esther...My you look marvelous.
ICANN also has no balls and lets companies like Network Solutions tell them to piss off when they break rules or act unethically. - Archer007, on 07/06/2008, -2/+3I'm in your internets, transferrin' ur domainz.
- kr3mliyn, on 07/06/2008, -0/+1No wai!?
- itech7, on 07/06/2008, -1/+1that's bull$hit
- Tyrghast, on 07/06/2008, -2/+2It seems Michael Moore and Bruce Wayne did manage to hack the internets...
- bipolarruledout, on 07/07/2008, -0/+0Um... 20 minutes? I hate to go defending them but the internet was never built with much security in mind. How long would it take most others to notice such a thing? Could be days if not longer.
- Magnut, on 07/06/2008, -0/+0Non profit? *****
ICANN is a horrible agency that allows domain squatting
and what about that .me *****, the organization that is opening .me reserved hundreds of the premium .me domains (*****.me hit.me etc) and are going to sell them for five figures. Yeah right, not for profit - NyteStarNyne, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1Chuck Norris
- waydee, on 07/06/2008, -2/+1duplicate, buried.
- AlienMushroom, on 07/06/2008, -3/+2Just admit it - ICANN'T!
- davideparker, on 07/06/2008, -1/+0Don't you mean "looses it's addresses"? It teh innernet!
