A very interesting read. :-) At one point, the article seemed to conflate the running of AlterNIC with the hijacking of InterNIC (although it later clarified that the hijacking was done via a vulnerability in BIND). In case anyone else is interested: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlterNIC#Hijacking_of_InterNIC.27s_website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AlterNIC#Hijacking_of_InterNIC.... The hijacking was made possible using a DNS cache poisoning attack, exploiting a security vulnerability in versions of BIND earlier than 4.9.6.
