Craigslist visitors were left surprised earlier this week, when browsing the popular classifieds website led them to some unexpected places, reports Gizmodo.
It appears a hacker made changes to the site’s DNS records on 23 November, redirecting visitors to a YouTube rap video, and the website of the video’s owner, DigitalGangster, which The Register reports was “used in 2008 to sell stolen celebrity photos.” The owner of the site and music video – a former hacker – denied any knowledge, stating that he had no idea who was behind the attacks.
