An update on the DNS incident

April 26, 2005 by Hushmail.com in Security

We have been in communication with Network Solutions since Saturday evening when the DNS change occured. An unauthorized party, using a name not associated with Hush Communications, called the Network Solutions support center, and gained access to our customer account and altered our settings. Hush Communications continues to await the completion of the investigation undertaken at our request by Network Solutions.

We will continue to update our users as more information becomes available. We would also like to express our appreciation for the patience shown by our users during this time.

To the best of our knowledge, the DNS issues caused by the caching of the altered addresses should now have ceased. The correct addresses should now have propagated accross the Internet, and all users should be able to access Hushmail.
