MS & Yahoo Hacked
by Steve Gibson, Jan 26, 2001 10:54am PSTThere was a story here about some DNS hack stuff that turned out to be false, apparently Microsoft however has been hacked and there is a story about it over here. Also a story about traffic from Yahoo getting hacked as well. Thanks GoofyBoy and Microsoft Fan. As for the rest of the story, we'll chalk up one for the commies.

They stuck ALL of their domain name servers on the same netblock, same router. Normal policy of sensible companies is to have a second one somewhere FAR away.
So what happened? First day, bad configuration dropped packets. Second/third day, someone DoS'ed the router with their DNS servers on it.
Perhaps this bad decision is necessitated by MS Win2K Active Directory or something. I wouldn't be surprised if their name servers have to send broadcast UDP to each other (in order to make Active Directory incompatiable with standard DNS).

new?
For example:
MICROSOFT.COM.AINT.WORTH.SHIT.KLUGE.ORG
..is just a domain name for KLUGE.ORG.
It comes up in the search because someone set that address as their primary DNS server, which makes it get indexed by WHOIS. But you'll notice it is NOT a Microsoft.com domain.
There was about this trick on Slashdot a month or two ago.
