they be stealing our 4chan
Saturday, December 15th, 20074chan’s domain name registrar account has been compromised, and thus their DNS servers and the integrity of 4chan.org (along with soup) as well.
On the 14th December 2007 4chan’s DNS was hacked and incoming connections were redirected to the website http://diditforthelulz.com — originally there was a shitty phpBB on this site (they couldn’t even set up an imageboard) and it needed more desu.
brb, compromised — encyclopedia dramatica
4chan’s account with its domain name registrar has been stolen. This allows for the malicious editing of our nameserver list(s) and thus compromises the integrity of 4chan.org and various other domains tied to the account.
DO NOT SEND ANY SORT OF “PRIVATE” OR SECURE INFORMATION TO 4CHAN.ORG. CLEAR YOUR COOKIES AND DISCONTINUE BROWSING THE SITE IMMEDIATELY.
A redirect page has gone up on the [real] 4chan servers to point users to this blog. Individuals who have an outdated DNS cache will be bounced here. From this point forward, take anything you read on 4chan.org with a grain of salt (that’s a bit ironic, isn’t it?).
Attention — 4chan status
Looks like “Angyl” did it.
