The country Turkey compromised the Google DNS IPs once. It's also a way to block certain websites (no matter if HTTPS or not): http://arstechnica.com/informatio

  Nope. Just rerouted packets going for 8.8.8.8 somewhere else; that's a MITM, not a compromise (although with an unauthenticated service such as DNS, the difference is academic for the client). Still, the sites are still accessible if you can get the IP address from somewhere else - which can be a different DNS server or even the hosts file. I do agree that such block is enough to deter most non-technical users.

    That article is also old. I'm guessing Turkey has upgraded and maybe bought some tech from the Greate Firewall of China ;)
