Due to recent attacks against Microsoft, including Denial of Service 
attacks against their DNS servers, the masses have been quick to point out 
odd entries when doing 'whois' requests. The results have lead to a flood 
of mail and often times articles mentioning these sites were 'hacked'. 
This simply is NOT the case. In the case of Microsoft, many of these 
entries have been there for weeks if not months. These do NOT mean DNS 
servers or root name servers were hacked, rather it means you are not 
familiar with nameservers, Internic and domain registrations.
