Hackers Hijack IANA and ICANN Web Sites

Posted on June 27th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 2 Comments »

Following yesterday’s approval of a controversial move to loosen restrictions on new domain extensions (gTlds), domaining control bodies IANA and ICANN had their domains hijacked.

Under the alias “NetDevilz”, a group of hackers temporarily hijacked the sites of the key organizations and redirected them to a taunting page.

Visitors to the websites of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) were temporarily redirected yesterday morning. According to Zone-h.org, the websites affected were iana.com, iana-servers.com, icann.com and icann.net.

A message at the site the affected sites were redirected to said, “You think that you control the domains but you don’t! Everybody knows wrong. We control the domains including ICANN! Don’t you believe us?”

IANA is responsible for managing the domain-name root system that translates domain names into IP addresses. ICANN oversees IANA.
