ICQ and AOL have had their DNS servers hacked - ICQ.com is down and the timer on AOL is about to hit zero.

 

Cerulean have released a patch for Trillian but I recommend disconnecting from all ICQ, AOL or AIM services for the timebeing.

My connection to AIM is fine.

 

But if the DNS server does go down...

 

login.oscar.aol.com = 64.12.161.185

Unknown host http://www.icq.com

 

Ho ho ho. AOL is proving more resilient but their responses are done to nearl 500 ms.

 

The culprits: (verified by changes to DNS entries 20 minutes ago)

DNS now:

 

Name Server: DNS-01.ICQ.NET

Name Server: DNS-02.ICQ.NET

Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK

 

Name Server: DNS-02.NS.AOL.COM

Name Server: DNS-01.NS.AOL.COM

Name Server: DNS-06.NS.AOL.COM

Name Server: DNS-07.NS.AOL.COM

Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK

 

 

DNS then:

 

AOL.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.GULLI.COM

AOL.COM.CANT.STOP.US.IFUD.COM

AOL.COM

 

ICQ.COM.IS.INSECURE.VISIT.US.FOR.PROVE.IFUD.COM

ICQ.COM

 

 

:D

Don't their WWW servers get taken down on a weekly basis now?

Vulnerabilities in the clients get exploited all the time, but nothing this funny has happened for ages :)

I thought it was pretty funny when someone hacked the RIAA's home page and posted links to p2p programs.

Using the WHOIS tool on internic's website.

 

You can use it to check the DNS entries for a domain.
