ICANN and IANA Domain Names Hijacked
According to website Zone-H, a group of Turkish hackers hijacked ICANN and IANA domain names on Thursday morning. All of the domain names are registered at Register.com. The group took over control of the domain names, including icann.com, icann.net, iana.com and iana-servers.com. The DNS records were changed and redirected to the hackers site with the following message :
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?
haha 
(Lovable Turkish hackers group)
This is the second major group to have their domain names hijacked in the last 30 days. Previously Comcast.net domain names were hijacked at Network Solutions. So much for “preserving and enhancing the operational stability, reliability, security, and global interoperability of the Internet” eh ?
