what proof do you have it is Microsoft?

In fact, a company called SoGoSearch hijacked the domain temporarily to point to their site.


I'm not one to trust screenshots, but thats the best guess at the moment.

Wrong. That screenshot was faked. Read the comments section of the report. "DNS poison != Google hacked".
I'm not pointing any fingers yet.

To clear things up, here's how it worked:

1.  The company SoGo Search purchased http://com.net .
2.  Google's DNS servers went down.
3.  Browsers that guess domains (especially Safari, hence the pic) couln't get google.com, so they guessed google.com.net.
4.  google.com.net, a subdomain, doesn't exist, so it redirects to com.net, and the SoGo Search page pops up.

EDIT: As of now http://com.net isn't working.  But it was yesterday.
