RE: Yahoo Hacked?

["Craig Holland" <cholland () yahoo-inc com>]

David,

You are not testing if Yahoo is hacked, you are testing if whois is hacked.
Try 'whois microsoft.com' or 'whois aol.com' or 'whois anyone.com'...you'll
notice a lot of this.  There is an explanation for this, but I'll leave that
to someone who knows more about whois than me.

thanks,
craig
