Visitors to Google.ie and Yahoo.ie yesterday didn’t get what they were looking for.
Yesterday the whois record for Google.ie was temporarily changed, along with its nameservers. Michele Neylon of Blacknight was first to write about the hijacking.
The nameservers for Yahoo.ie were also temporarily changed.
Who’s to blame? The registry for .ie, IEDR, issued a statement that insinuated that the problem was at the registrar for the domains, Mark Monitor. But Mark Monitor blamed lax security standards at IEDR.
It is certainly interesting that IEDR took its own systems offline to investigate.
