Craigslist Founder Ambushed By 20/20 (X-mas Shop At Wallmart Slaves!)

Users looking to visit online classifieds titan Craigslist on Sunday evening were redirected to a site hosted at the domain DigitalGangster(dot)Com, as a result of what appears to be a DNS hijack.

Assumingly under a heavy load, the server receiving the hijacked traffic was unable to cope with the massive amount of web traffic that Craigslist.org receives and was unable to respond to most web requests.

Not long after, the attacker(s) apparently changed some settings, and redirected requests for craigslist.org to the New York Times website, after going through a third party click through gateway, which could have been an affiliate link. Soon after that, requests reverted back to the Digital Gangster site, which at the time of publishing still appeared to be choking under heavy traffic.
