Google Being Hacked?

Recently, Google being hacked in Romania and Pakistan became a popular topic for discussion. "Real" hacking would mean someone successfully broke into Google's server, changed the server permission, and stole Google data. So in actual fact, Google was not hacked, but instead had a DNS redirection problem.

For example, to visit lns.com.my, we need to memorize the specific IP address 103.3.72.5. To make it easy for users to remember a website, DNS (Domain Name System) is responsible for translating Internet domain and host names to IP addresses. So when a user types lns.com.my in a browser, the DNS will automatically direct the user to visit the 103.3.72.5 website.

In Google's case, someone has taken advantage of the conversion tool (DNS), and switched off google.com.pk by pointing it to a different IP address. As a result, millions of users saw the hacker message instead of the usual Google landing page

If you find a page with an error message or non-common landing page, don't linger or click anything. Leave the site and let the administrator solve the problem, because syncing DNS to the correct IP address is a process that may take up to a few hours.
