Afternoon Folks!!
Seems the .PS registry has been hacked.
Looks like someone hacked the .PS registry so they can direct names anywhere. Like if someone hacked the .COM registry we would all be at the mercy of that person. A check of Google.PS illustrates what may be happening.
This can open up new concerns as new gTLD's are slated for market.
UPDATE: Tech Crunch reports it to be a "Domain Registry Attack"
