.name Registry hacked

Nov 29, 2003 10:50PM PST

The .name registry main website www.nic.name has been hacked, as of Saturday evening in North America. According to Netcraft, they're running Linux. They must not have kept up to date with all security updates, or someone cracked a password. Hopefully offsite backups were made, to ensure data integrity.

The hacked home page reads 'Owned by SUr00tIK & GroMx' and claims no files were deleted."
