Photobucket hacked

**wat3v3r** · 06-19-2008, 09:35 AM

Photobucket was hacked yesterday, using what seems like a dns hack

The below image was replaced with the photobuckets main page..

Because the Photobucket outage was dns based, it meant that some people could still access the site, whilst others either got a hackers message, or a completely different website.

lol dumb thing is photobucket wont acknowledge this at all dumb admin posted this in support

Quote:

“On Tuesday afternoon, some users that typed in the Photobucket.com URL were temporarily redirected to an incorrect page due to an error in our DNS hosting services. The error was fixed within an hour of its discovery, but due to the nature of the problem, some users will not have access to Photobucket for a few hours as the fix rolls out. It is important to note
that only a portion of Photobucket users encountered the problem and that no
Photobucket content, password information or other personal information was
affected by the redirect. ”

“due to an error in our DNS hosting services.”? An error, as in a technical error? One that happened to redirect users to a message from a Turkish hacker?
