Within a day of ICANN's gTLD announcement, ZDNet reports that a Turkish hacking group has hijacked domain names belonging to IANA and ICANN. Interestingly, only thier "alternative" names were hijacked. For example, ICANN.COM and ICANN.NET were, but ICANN.ORG was not. Similarly, IANA.COM was, but IANA.ORG was not.

Yesterday, during their meeting in Paris, ICANN announced a change in their policy for adding new generic TLDs to the DNS.
