i keep trying to reply to this thread, but for some reason its not getting thru. very odd. maybe this time.

in any event, it looks like PBW.CC has been hijacked at Pacific-Bell's DNS servers. More likely than not, it was done by one of their internal helpdesk monkies with nothing better to do, who thought it looked like a under-travelled domain. they are redirecting to 157.238.204.6, which i would advise against visiting. Their Cache will probably clear by the time my trouble ticket goes through, but just so it is known, no pac-bell customers (at least none using the name server i am on, i have no way of knowing if only my local caching server is affected or if it is their central nameservers) are getting to the PBW site without using either the straight IP or an alternate nameserver.

blea. i hate the internet, its full of morons with nothing better to do than to *** with other peoples networks. they should spend that extra energy biking, or playing se4, or jerking off.

that is a problem, indeed. almost of the same degree as a slightly older Hanks' movie where they cast Dungeons and Dragons players as a bunch of murdering satanists who run around in the sewers.

Puke: it was probably a series of ip's including the one that the PBW server is using. Maybe they tried to grab people going to yahoo.com, or something, and in the process caught the PBW server within the range of ip's that they had changed.

Anyway, on the part of your ISP, is bad practise. More than likely it was one of the exploits that came to the forefront about 6 months ago. Shoddy shoddy.
