More the number of visitors to a website more will be the number of times that domain name server will be accessed. So this made very easy for the hackers to divert the traffic or to spam. Hope you all could have heard that TCS and Twitter sites were hacked 3 months before. Why not even you tube site had gone down for almost 2 hours.
India’s leading IT solutions provider Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) website was hacked by a French hacker. The hackers changed the domain name from 216.15.200.140 to 205.178.152.154 and put it up for sale. The hacker had also put up whos.amung.us widget to display how many people were on the site at any given point.
It was much surprising, when world’s famous social networking website Twitter had its name server being hacked in 2009. Just think if companies like TCS and Twitter were not able to do much about domain name server hacking. Most domain name server tends to be very reliable. So reliable in fact, that it’s easy to forget just how critical it really is.
Online video fans were shocked, if the world has come to an end when the you tube site was down for almost 2 hours months back. Eastern time visitors had been greeted with an error message that simply read “Http/1.1 Service Unavailable” or a 500 Internal Server Error message.
The only way around is to monitor the name servers of a website every second. You may find lot of free website monitoring services available on the net, but the real task is to find the best one. 100Pulse can be the right choice to monitor the name servers, to avoid being in news for your website being hacked.
