Since the launch of DNS routing systems on the net this issue of IP address hijacking seems to have come to the fore. The reason why is that the DNS routing schemes hold all the information needed to hijack all the domains under their control. [if they so choose to do so in a way that is non-disclosing.] Does any one know anything about this sort of "man in the middle" type security issue? Any tools out there to verify IP address routing and to test for IP address diverting, for example? From what I can read there is actually no way to protect properly against this sort of thing especially if the hack is deliberately "temporary" and sporadic.. forcing a loss of confidence in a particular domain or web site.
