YouTube Domain Down? Hacked? Denied?- Entire Site Down
Posted on 03 May 2008, at 8:12 am, by Wayne Schulz
Update: 10:20 pm EST - Everything at YouTube seems back to normal. For those of you who tried to reach YouTube this morning, it appeared the site was either down, subject to denial of service attacks or maybe (but probably not) the subject of a hack to their domain record(s). Check out the image above and you can see what started the DNS hack conspiracy theory. Four funny looking domain server records with YouTube in their name. This is probably a fluke in someone’s server naming because if you look at the same query for Microsoft it’s just as odd.

Whew! its back now.

Yeah, I think this was a site outage — the domain thing looked odd but as I looked closer it looks like those are just someone elses servers with the youtube name stuck in them.
Who knows — at least things are back to normal

Crazy stuff! Good catch.

Nice conspiracy theory on my part but as several people have discovered the Domain was not at issue — because Microsoft has the same junky server records showing up under their iptools.com entry.
Still a weird looking record — had me going for a while.

Wayne, it could be that they are bouncing multiple DNS records around the ‘Net to assure they don’t have a DOS (thus the odd entries). I don’t know if that is absolutely the case obviously but another pre-coffee thought from Clinton on this fine Sunday morning.
