It appears that on June 26 that Turkish hackers took control of the domains iana.com, iana-servers.com, icann.com and icann.net.

The Hackers called "NetDevilz" defaced the sites with:

"You think that you control the domains but you don't! Everybody knows wrong. We control the domains including ICANN! Don't you believe us?"

[nytimes.com...]

This time the domains were hosted with register.com opposed to the last big domain name hack where Comcast was redirected which was registered at Network Solutions.

If the guys running the DNS system can't stop their own domains from being hijacked what hope is there for the rest of us to hold onto our domains?
