Default Google hacked?

Hi,

According to Google, they had a DNS problem, and the site was redirecting to SoGoSearch page.

I think this was not the result of a hack, or any security issues, some people are still having trouble logging in to Gmail, not getting Google homepage.

What do you have to say about this?

regards,
Zafar Ahmed

Hi,

This is what my friend had to say while we were discussing on this:

Quote:
SoGoSearch didn't hijack Google's DNS. They registered a domain name The Gigantic Orange Cream-Sicle Search Engine at SoGoSearch.com. Because the browser couldn't find google.com it tried as The Gigantic Orange Cream-Sicle Search Engine at SoGoSearch.com. It has nothing to do with them hijacking any DNS.

I can access Google and didn't have any issues all week. I don't see a problem?
