How can consumers protect themselves if the commercial services they use and trust are compromised on a regular basis? How can anyone really rely and trust cloud services these days? Where are the consumer protections? |

Craigslist.co.uk is DOWN for everyone. Apparently some sites are coming back up...for others still down. » houston.craigslist.org/ seems to work and » vancouver.craigslist.ca/ is back up |

Looks file to me (checking from a VM to minimize risk). Other posts are indicating it's the DNS entry for craigslist that got hijacked. |

Assumingly under a heavy load, the server receiving the hijacked traffic was unable to cope with the massive amount of web traffic that Craigslist.org receives and was unable to respond to most web requests. Not long after, the attacker(s) apparently changed some settings, and redirected requests for craigslist.org to the New York Times website, after going through a third party click through gateway, which could have been an affiliate link. Soon after that, requests reverted back to the Digital Gangster site, which at the time of publishing still appeared to be choking under heavy traffic. » www.securityweek.com/att ··· ain-name |

from the cl blog:
At approximately 5pm PST Sunday evening the craigslist domain name service (DNS) records maintained at one of our domain registrars were compromised, diverting users to various non-craigslist sites.
This issue has been corrected at the source, but many internet service providers (ISPs) cached the false DNS information for several hours, and some may still have incorrect information.
If you are unable to reach the craigslist site, please ask your network provider or tech staff to flush all *.craigslist.org and *.craigslist.com entries (A,CNAME,SOA) from their DNS servers. |

Who could possibly pay Craigslist enough to go along with something as cockamamie as this? |
