NetSol Blamed for Hushmail Hijack

Lapses at Network Solutions are being blamed in the temporary hijacking of the domain name for Hushmail's email service. It sounds like the hijacker used social engineering techniques to gain access to Hushmail's DNS nameserver settings, and redirected the site to another server. "We are aware that a hacker temporarily altered this customer's [DNS records]," said Network Solutions spokeswoman Susan Wade told eWeek. "Our security team promptly rectified the situation."
