ALJAZEERA.NET DOMAIN HACKED AND MOVED TO MYDOMAIN.COM
Arab satellite TV network’s nameservers changed to MyDomain URL forwarding service by hacker; MyDomain reacts by suspending service.
VANCOUVER, Wash. – MyDomain.com, host to more than 600,000 domain names using its free URL forwarding and e-mail services, discovered this morning the domain aljazeera.net had been moved to MyDomain servers.
