Want FRENCH fries with that? I here the Al-Jazeera web-site hacked is hosted by a FRENCH company. (from the Seattle Times.....I gotta go -- keep up the great work Tech Master) A Web hosting company in Vancouver, Wash., received some unexpected attention yesterday when it was pulled into a hacker attack on the Web site of Arab satellite television network Al-Jazeera. Someone redirected traffic from Al-Jazeera's site to another Web page with an image of a stars-and-stripes logo and the phrase "Let Freedom Ring." The stars-and-stripes Web site was one of many sites hosted for free by Dotster. The company noticed a large spike in traffic early yesterday morning, and first thought that Al-Jazeera had signed up for a free account, said vice president George DeCarlo. Dotster disabled the page, and the French company hosting the Al-Jazeera Web site rerouted traffic to its original servers. Hackers impersonating an Al-Jazeera employee tricked one of the Internet's most popular Web addressing companies, Network Solutions Inc., into making technical changes that effectively turned over temporary control of the network's Arabic and English Web sites.
