it is illegal to hack into a business server and redirect thousands of sites that people pay for.
basicly, I woke up this morning with a bunch of messages from people i have done some non adult work for wondering what happened to thier business websites. checked them out and sure enough, they appeared to be gone and an arabic site protesting the war with photos of dead kids and such was in its place, with thier URL in the address bar. they contacted me, then they got wind of similar things happening to other sitesn(from CNN or something) and were told in the news report to contact the authorities if it happend to them. Then, me being thier main contact gave my info to the Feds and they called me thinking trying to get a copy of the site. BUT it was not like they hacked into the server and deleted the companies pages and uploaded thier own, they just got onto the DNS machine of the host and did some redirecting or something. Not real sure how it happened. Just know the host has taken that machine completly offline to try and get it sorted out.
