Hackers Take Control Of Google Morocco For Several Hours

TechCrunch reported that Google Morocco was taken over by hackers for several hours.

The reports say that the hackers gained access to Google’s domain name through the country’s registrar, NIC.ma. The DNS information was then changed to point to a different server until Google regained access and pointed the domain name back to the Google servers.

Google has been hacked before, including domain names taken over and blogs hacked into and seized.

Postscript: Google said this was not a “hack” of the Google web site. Right, Google technically was not hacked into, but their domain name was taken control over and redirected.
