It looks like it is more than just the Wiki site. I can't even see the
Ethereal's home page at:
http://www.ethereal.com
I'm redirected to Network Solution's "Web Page Under Construction".
A whois for "ethereal.com" returned the following. Note the Date/Time in

FYI: Earlier this week (May 3rd) I received my daily ISS "XFTAS Daily Threat
Assessment" report that included a paragraph that stated: "... the Internet
Storm Center (ISC) has posted a report of a DNS cache poisoning incident."
ISS summarized the ISC report as "Users of a particular company found
that when they attempted to access any Web site, a page would be returned
indicating that the domain was for sale."
The ISC posting is available in the "Handler's Diary May 2nd 2006". See:
http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=1305
I sure hope that this is an innocent administrative oversight that can be
easily corrected and not something more sinister.
Best regards,
Jim Young
