WhoIs.com hacked / dns redirected?

It's not often Whois.com gets hacked. Even worse if its a DNS attack, given that is their primary business.

Got a screener here in case it gets fixed quick : http://imgur.com/guUzL

It's not often? Has it happened before?

Just for reference, all I see is the standard address not found browser error page.

A dozen services are hacked every week. What discussion is there to be had about this?

And, why promote a direct link to a site that's under malicious-actor control?

I agree it's not a good idea to visit a site known to be under attack, but merely reporting the attack will cause an increase in traffic.

Here's a screenshot in case you'd like to see the site without visiting: http://drp.ly/edn98

Completely unimpressive, useless hack.
