View Full Version : What's up with Yahoo!(tm) ? ? ?
Anybody have any idea what is happening with the mighty Yahoo! ? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif
Our Church's web site is just a generic page showing other stuff around Hagerstown, and several, but not all, of the people I know that have E-Mail on Yahoo! are getting incoming mail kicked back to the sender.
Calling Yahoo!'s tech support line only results in a pre-recorded message saying to the effect, "Yahoo! is aware of the problem, and is taking steps to correct it. . . ."
My question is , What is IT ? http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/rock.gif What happened ?
73, and thanks for any answers. Jim
I have a Yahoo email. No problem here (B'more).

No problem with my Yahoo stuff either. Maybe it got hacked?
I also have a Yahoo! E-Mail address, and it is normal. But I don't understand why a web site, and other E-Mails associated with the web site would disappear!
Notice, I did say "some, but not all" were affected.

Maybe some of those anti-Christian, commie, welfare-state LIB fanatics who hate America hacked the church's website.

Hello.
Yes, the root servers are where it all happens.
http://www.root-servers.org/
That is the only real fault in the current internet structure, a minor departure from the original DoD standard.

Not likely the root server resolve dns names. You would not have gotten the wrong yahoo page, you would get an error to the effect it couldnt find it.
Also that was a couple days ago I believe.

What is the address of your church's web site? I doubt it has anything to do with the recent attack on 3 of the 13 root DNS servers. Actually, the DNS system is one of the most redundant, fault-tolerant systems on the internet. Individual users don't really ever come into contact with those root servers, so it would take a prolonged (multi-day) denial-of-service attack against all 13 root servers before people would start to see side effects trickling down through the rest of the DNS system.
What seems more likely is that your church's domain name may have expired, in which case the domain registrar may have replaced the site with a generic advertising page. If that's the case and you're lucky, there may be a grace period during which you can renew the domain before someone else snatches it up.
