crackho.com DNS prank ruffles Sarah Palin’s feathers

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

A simple DNS prank against former GOP VP nominee and current Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has finally come to the attention of Alaskan authorities, resulting in a cease-and-desist order as well as somewhat misdirected copyright claims. The owner of the site in question has caved to legal pressure, although one has to admit that the whole series of events was worth a chuckle. Houston-based DJ Shoe Latif registered Crackho.com ages ago (according to a Whois search, 1998), but decided to give the site a fresh face in 2008 after Governor Palin was chosen as the Republican Vice President nomineee.
