Re: [northeast] DNS hijacking in effect (new)

This is becoming a very common practice for many ISPs, and frankly a good chunk of OpenDNS's revenue stream as well. Companies are trying to squeeze every penny they can from every place they can, and all things being considered, this isn't all that big a deal.

I don't like it myself, so I take care of my own DNS. Even if that's not practical for you, there are plenty of sources that you could use to avoid this.

Welcome to the web circa 2007. Everything is a potential advertising source.
