"Surfers trying to visit the web site of popular secure email service
Hushmail were redirected to a false site early Sunday following a
hacking attack. Hush Communications said hackers changed Hushmail's
DNS records after "compromising the security" of its domain registrar
(Network Solutions). These changes were undone after a few hours on
Sunday and normal Hushmail services have now been restored."
