Pakistani Hackers (reportedly settled in Saudi Arabia) today put down Google’s search page (http://www.google.com.ma) specialized for Morocco.
Domain name remained down for many hours, while people got enough chance to record plenty of screenshots here and here.
TechCrunch says that there’s a bit of confusion about how the hack was performed exactly, but it appears as if the hackers found a way into NIC.ma , which controls the DNS for the country, and targeted the Google domain name especially. The domain was pointed to a different server, and the web page above was shown when people tried to access the search engine. Google apparently at one point automatically relayed visitors from Morocco to Google.com instead of Google.co.ma, but it took a while to get the latter functioning correctly again.
PAKbugs.com leads to a forum where Pakistan hackers hang out, and they’re being proud what they did today here.
Lolz!!! :P
Safe Surfing!!! (:

-winky face- “we rock”? yeah guys, you are TOTALLY ROCKING out moms basement long into your 40s. way to go. The internet quivers with anticipation about what you’ll do next!
lol…so true
They all say it’s totally “secure” on the internet,yeah right!
Yeah, I live here in morocco, and it was out yesterday for a few hours too, late in the day. I was getting a Google error message for a while though, not this one above. (It must have taken the hackers a little time to establish the redirect.)
I wonder if Google or the Moroccan government have any retribution planned for the proud hackers?
Maybe they’re just poking more fun at Google?
You’d think hackers would know that there are better e-mail services out there than hotmail.
