Comcast Domain Hacked

(I'm feeling aggravated)

Starting late yesterday, Comcast users began noticing that Comcast.net had been hacked. More technically, early indications are that someone hacked Comcast's registrar account at Network Solutions, changing the authoritative DNS servers for Comcast.net -- rerouting portal visitors to IP addresses in Germany or elsewhere. Where once Comcast's portal sat, users were instead greeted with the following text

KRYOGENICS Defiant and EBK RoXed Comcast
sHouTz to VIRUS Warlock elul21 coll1er seven

The problem is impacting user access to the Comcast portal, webmail (obviously) and the official Comcast forums. Though there's no indication that user privacy is jeopardized, you may want to avoid using Comcast webmail until things have been completely cleared up. Comcast tells us they're aware of the problem.
