  That guy looks uber l33t h4x0r to me. Excuse me while I purchase some DDOS from this fine fellow for a fair price.

  Using Viettel ADSL with Google DNS and I can confirm this. Google Chrome detected the issue and didn't load at all (http://imgur.com/qoXPj9R http://imgur.com/qoXPj9R). Going through http is fine. Page source: http://pastebin.com/rHttdwiy http://pastebin.com/rHttdwiy

  It looks more like the Vietnamese NIC was compromised...

      Either VNNIC was hacked or someone got Google credentials... I hope it is the later.
      • xyzzy123 12y ago
        Or their registrar, WebNic.cc perhaps.
      • yeukhon 12y ago
        Sorry, but why would you hope it was the latter?
        • ryanlol 12y ago
          Maybe a single customer getting owned is better than all the customers getting owned?
        • bottled_poe 12y ago
          An NIC exploit may be widely repeatable.

            Well :| certainly not the first time. http://thehackerspost.com/2013/10/google-malaysia-gets-hacked-1337-hacker-madleets.html http://thehackerspost.com/2013/10/google-malaysia-gets-hacke...

        While I'm not 100% sure, it's likely that VNNIC has been 0wned. Rationale: VNNIC doesn't provide any online DNS management tools. One has to submit a paper request in person to change any DNS records. Edit: it looks like it's the registrar WebNic.cc that got hacked.

  I'm using VNPT and I can confirm this issue too, happened twice.
  • eddiek85 12y ago
    Hi linuxbuzz, are you located in HCMC?
    • linuxbuzz 12y ago
      Yes. I'm in HCMC
      • eddiek85 12y ago
        Sweet. What do you do here? Are you local or a foreigner? I need some tech savvy friends in vietnam. Seems like I only meet drunkards
        • anh79 12y ago
          You would find some guys on meetup.
        • bvanalder 12y ago
          Hey, i'm a foreigner techie living in Saigon, what do you need ?
        • microcolonel 12y ago
          I know some tech savvy drunkards who have moved to Viet Nam, seems like a favourite place for that exact crowd(cheap SIM cards, accommodations, and especially cheap booze).

      Another Saigonist here. Always up for ca phe sua da with HNers.
• anhtran 12y ago
  I don't use 8.8.8.8 as ip for DNS. Still using the site normally.
  • CoMaRL 12y ago
    So, it's DNS redirect... Funny. PS: I'm in Sai Gon too, all OK for me.
• narga 12y ago
  I'm using Viettel and FPT Internet Connection. I confirmed that Google.com.vn has been defaced.

  I'm in Saigon, use Google DNS and it's still down for me. Before when I tried a query on Google, I got the standard SSL warning, which blocked the site and said "your connection is not private". Now, when I try a query the site just hangs and nothing happens. Something is certainly up. Maybe our neighbors way up North are messing around.

  Those of us in Vietnam that need to get around this can just browse here: http://www.google.com/ncr http://www.google.com/ncr That will set a cookie that directs searches to the main google.com domain instead of the .vn domain.

  I'm using unblock-us DNS here in Saigon, no problems. Had to sshuttle into a singapore server to post this though.
• hieudang9 12y ago
  I'm total agree with case Webnic.cc has been compromised. "Rationale: VNNIC doesn't provide any online DNS management tools. One has to submit a paper request in person to change any DNS records"-cryptbe Btw, VNNIC redirect any unregister domains to your ads page.
