This is rather suspicious (and confirmed by three other people):
------------------------------------------------
$ whois amazon.com
AMAZON.COM.ZZZZZ.GET.LAID.AT.WWW.SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM
AMAZON.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM
AMAZON.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.WWW.GULLI.COM
AMAZON.COM
------------------------------------------------
whois for yahoo.com and google.com yield similar results.

good evening,


someone posted something similar thrue a list a while ago , i think its because amazon was registred
with "networksolutions" and so on its not visiblle in the normal "whois " querry ?


I expect this means that DNS has been compromised somewhere.

No compromise, just people getting cute by registering host records. Microsoft.com is a mild example...

No, you should just learn to read WHOIS output :)


you mean its about this ?
