Baidu.com DNS hijacking

[Post on : January 12, 2010 10:47 | Category : Others | by : smallmo] Reship : Original

We received lots of reports about Baidu.com, the most popular search engine in China, had been unavailable since this moning.

As the time of writing, Baidu.com is also unavailable.

We noticed this case may be caused by DNS hijacking by the “Iranian cyber Army”, the same guys we mentioned several weeks ago.
