Do a whois on cnn.com
From the terminal, whois cnn.com and I get:
Whois Server Version 2.0
Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net
for detailed information.
CNN.COM.UNIMUNDI.COM
CNN.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
CNN.COM.IS.0WN3D.BY.GULLI.COM
CNN.COM
what gives? Navigating to cnn.com in the browser still redirects to the correct site, but it seems their whois info is all funky. Can someone explain??
- sold 13y agoThere's nothing wrong. Skip below to see information domain CNN.COM. Compare with whois microsoft.com, for example.

CNN.COM.UNIMUNDI.COM CNN.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM CNN.COM.IS.0WN3D.BY.GULLI.COM CNN.COM To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.
- rotnewson 13y agoSince no one explained it, it is whois spam. You can find more info through searching, they are not hacked they are just popular sites so they attract the spam. And if you don't want to google people just register name servers with xxx.com.xxxx.tld and their name server will show up when someone searches for xxx.com
- enegdo 13y agoDoes this have any relevance other than someone claiming they "hacked" a certain domain? I don't imagine it has relevance on SEO or anything else, right?
