Domain Disaster

Another Domain Hijacked

A Danger now faced by businesses and the scenario tha was dropped for this year's eCrime Congress. Cafe.com, a LA-based wholesale wireless hotspot provider for establishments like Denny’s and Radisson Hotel chain ran afoul of domain hijackers yesterday. According to an email sent to its subscribers, at approximately 2am Sunday morning, the cafe.com domain name was hijacked by an offshore hacking operation. “This has caused the www.cafe.com website to be redirected to another server (Sedo.com) and has caused erratic login/logout behaviour in our wireless hotspot locations,” the company wrote in its email. No idea if the problem has been fixed or now. [via Om Malik's Broadband Blog]
