I wouldn't assume that the DNS entry has been hijacked. I very recently had this same experience with a domain I work on. It got redirected to a parking page. I thought it had been hijacked. It turned out that the hosting provider had accidentally changed the IP address associated with the domain and that that had somehow caused the site to go to the parking page.
