ICANN’s icann.com and iana.com hijacked, but recovered in 20 minutes
The domain names hijacked were ICANN.com and IANA.com — for the ICANN subdivision known as the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. Visitors to those addresses are normally redirected automatically to the organization’s main sites at ICANN.org and IANA.org, neither of which was affected by the attack.
ICANN said Thursday that new, unspecified security measures should prevent such attacks in the future. The organization also said it was reviewing other security procedures.
