Craigslist DNS redirected due to hacked registrar
- crummy 12y agoI'm Google's DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4) and can't load images on Craigslist right now, after flushing my DNS.
- colmmacc 12y agoGoogle Public DNS allows anyone to flush its caches (https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/cache https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/cache). I've gone ahead and flushed "images.craigslist.org" which may help.
- icebraining 12y agoOh, wow, that'll come in handy, thanks.

- iLoch 12y agoAh strange, I noticed cl was down earlier - I figured it was a fluke and/or something wrong with my own internet.
- Animats 12y agoTheir registrar is Network Solutions. The last update to "craigslist.org" there was at 2014-11-24T03:26:40Z, so something did happen to the records at Network Solutions recently.
- deepsun 12y agoNetwork Solutions is the worst registrar ever. Never even search for your domain availability there, they used to temporarily squat it "for your convenience" and hold it for two weeks. We once got hit by that pretty bad.
- troels 12y agoYeah - I'm surprised they are still in business, really. But then, I'm equally surprised that godaddy are.
- Animats 12y agoNetwork Solutions has had a business trajectory like Myspace. Verisign bought Network Solutions in 2000 for $21 billion. Then it was sold to Pivotal Private Equity. Then it was sold to General Atlantic. Then in 2011 it was sold to Web.com, a marketing company in Jacksonville, FL for about $850 million. Not a good history there.
- larrys 12y ago"Craigslist DNS redirected due to hacked registrar " Not correct. Registrar wasn't hacked their account at the particular registrar was compromised.
