AlpHaNiX defaced Google, Gmail, Youtube, Yahoo and Apple

Hacker AlpHaNiX defaced Google, Gmail, Microsoft, Hotmail, Youtube, Samsung, Yahoo and Apple domains of Democratic Republic of Congo by using DNS cache poisoning. He altered the Domain Name System (DNS) records which show to which IP a website points to and instead of pointing to the original servers they were pointing to hacker’s IP. With this way when a user was trying to visit for example google.cd, instead of seeing Google’s page he was seeing hacker’s page with the message that the website was hacked by AlpHaNiX (Haxored by AlpHaNiX). We see the domain names of the biggest IT companies poisoned and understand that security in more fragile than we used to think.
