TCS, India’s largest software company and one of the Top 20 IT companies in the World has been hacked after hackers changed its domain name using DNS redirect loopholes. This has happened many times to many big companies including Twitter last year.
If you did type www.tcs.com, you could have seen a message ‘For Sale’ both in English and French. The hack is believed to be a DNS hijack and apart from putting the Sales messages, url details about them, they put an email id too. So funny!
Hack experts were saying this has achieved using the difference of the IPs between OpenDNS and Google Public DNS for tcs.com and www.tcs.com. Many tweeples were tweeting about this differences. Want to learn more about Google DNS, read here

Post your views on this hack & stay tuned for more updates!
