LinkedIn DNS hijacked, site offline • The Register | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

LinkedIn is working on its right-on-the-ball-with-security reputation, this time letting slip its domain details.

 

According to this App.net post:

 

“LinkedIn just got DNS hijacked, and for the last hour or so, all of your traffic has been sent to a network hosted by this company [confluence-networks.com]. And they don't require SSL, so if you tried to visit, your browser sent your long-lived session cookies in plaintext.” (User @berg)
