Hijacked RSS Feeds

+ Posted by Josh Hallett on 04.27.05 // 06:40 AM

Neville Hobson has had some of his RSS feeds hijacked. Read his detailed account. It will be interesting to see how this came about, i.e. Feed Demon issue or a hack on the web server hosting the RSS feeds.

Back in the mid 90's when I helpd start-up an ISP we could do all kinds of tricks to redirect users on our networks to other sites/pages via DNS hacks. This would mostly be done as jokes on our own staff, but it shows the power you have by controlling DNS servers.
