Sean; Sounds like it was corruption of the DNS table : http://www.msnbc.com/news/519306.asp from the article The database that includes this information is called a DNS Table. On Saturday, MyDomain.com accidentally released a DNS table to the world that was full of errors, Lau said. The mistakes meant a small fraction of Web surfers trying to visit Yahoo.com were instead sent to an IP address inside MyDomains.com. In addition to misdirecting Yahoo.com and Microsoft.com visitors, surfers trying to reach MSN.com and a host of .net sites also ended up at MyDomains.com. In about a four-hour period Saturday, some 50,000 new clicks were registered on the MyDomains page, and the number was still rising at 5 a.m. ET. Reminds me of Eugene Kashpureff...
