in 2008-10-10 some net hacker attacked Al Arabiya.net website ” if you don’t know what is Al Arabiya.net look ” :

Al Arabiya net is the Al Arabiya news channel this is the first or second news channel in the Arabic world ( after or before Aljazeera net ) i look to them whois and noticed the change

the hackers didn’t hack it only but they transferred the domain name to the GODADDY account !

look at the the whois info :

Registrar: GODADDY.COM, INC.
Whois Server: whois.godaddy.com
Referral URL: http://registrar.godaddy.com

this is the current info so they lost the control on them domain name !

Expiration Date: 2013-09-15
Creation Date: 1999-09-15
Last Update Date: 2008-10-10

the last update was 10 October was the day of the attack

they say that : the U.S.-based company that manages registration of the domain name, Network Solutions, were attacked

and they working to regain ownership of the domain name through the American court system to get it back normal

when i try to open Al Arabiya net website i surprised to see the Arabic message telling me that the site hacked and the attackers will continue attacking the websites that attack Shiite websites !

the message was ” if attacks on Shiite websites continue, none of your websites will be safe. ” in Arabic and English .

the attackers put a picture of a burning Israeli flag and they changed it with another picture , and they listed 100 Sunni sites that they attacked too .

this one of A tit-for-tat cyber wars which start in September and they attacked more than 1,000 websites ( Shiite and Sunni ) .

the hacking war start after UAE-based group hacked 300 Shiite websites but the famous was ” Iraq’s Ayatollah Sistani’s website “

Shiite hackers replied by attacking more than 900 website “sunni “

the famous site was ” Saudi preacher Dr. Aaidh al-Qarni’s site “

Al Arabiya net website moved to www.alarabiya.tv as Al Arabiya launched a legal battle to regain its domain name and identify the hackers.

Al Arabiya starting a legal recourse in American courts to get the domain back .

if you go to www.alarabiya.net it will load you to www.alarabiya.tv so we should wait to know if they could get it back or no !
