Perhaps more critically, twimg.com (and now Twitter, it seems) has also been compromised. Both share the MelbourneIT registrar.<p>$ whois -h whois.melbourneit.com twitter.com -> now owned by sea@sea.sy (Syrian Electronic Army)<p>The name servers for the Times have been switching back-and-forth for a while. I've chronicled most of it at <a href="https://twitter.com/semenko" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/semenko</a>
Why the heck are both Twitter and the New York Times using a in the context small Australian registrar? (MelbourneIT)<p>edit: looks like MelbourneIT do DNS for a ton of big names. really really weird.

NYTimes DNS has been hyjacked to redirect to SEA Blog (Syrian Electronic Army). Here I mirror the front page and some of the linked content from the English version of the page.
