What happens when the official domain names of the organizations that issue the domain names in general, and provide allNetDevilz ICANN IANA the practical guidance on how the prevent DNS hijacking, end up having their own domain names hijacked? A wake up call for the Internet community.

This seems especially interesting seeing as this is second time a register.com site has been hijacked. It will be interesting to hear the postmortem for this event and see if it matches up with what was reported for the Comcast hijacking, or if they actually found a weakness in the register.com system.
