Adnan, sad but true!

tami, yea, I totally freaked out when I heard it, take good care of yours

Insider, it’s a bit mysterious, but I’m sure an insider is involved. I too thought about the redirection thing, but thought it could be that Network Solution and Godaddy agreed to do the redirection temporarily until the case is solved, maybe, I’m not sure.

I am sure an insider in Network Solutions or Alarabyia was behinde this attack. I wonder also how the whois information on Gadaddy shows ownership from 1999 !!! that is also strange.
This is basically a strange hacking and new days will reveal what happened.

I also wonder, if they do not own the Alarabiya.net , how can they redirect it to Alarabiya.TV… can someone explain !!!

I’m a godaddy customer, couple of days ago I transferred a domain name to another account, I got three confirmation e-mails, in each one I got they said if you want to cancel please do now, so I wonder how did this happened, unless they hacked the e-mail that Al-Arabiya uses for domain registration account.

Or an insider was part of it.

But by all means, it’s really scary!
