WHOIS Wasn't Hacked

WHOIS Wasn't Hacked

SOPHOS.COM.FELL.FOR.A.VERY.OLD.HACK.TODAY.

I guess if you haven't been around for a while, you've never noticed that there are instances in WHOIS where you might look up a domain result and get a wacky hostname result back, too, because somebody on the internet thought it would be funny to register MICROSOFT.COM.ISN'T.WEARING.PANTS or whatever. D'oh.
