NSI's registrar db hacked

[Rodney Joffe <rjoffe () centergate com>]

Looks like another hole in the NSI registrar (not registry) system has
been found and exploited. Apparently some 2,000 domains have been
hijacked, so if something weird has happened to a domain of yours, this
may explain it...

Whois lucasfilm.com

Query:     indianajones.com

The url does take you to the lucasfim website now, but earlier it took
you to Webprovider.com. The above story has a screencapture of the way
it looked.
