Re: starwars.com subdomain hijacked?
Novator (Canadian web-shopping company, used to be FTD's big partner) is
responsible for shop.starwars.com so I think all that's happened here is
Novator forgot to renew a domain.
domainsatcost.ca is rebel.com is Momentous.ca and they own
yourdomainhasexpired.com.

Redir'd to a advert site, instead of a default DomainsAtCost.ca holding
page or...nowhere.
Apparently quickly renewed and given back to the original owners.
Who's at play here? Does DomainsAtCost have a deal with Rebel.com? Or are
they the same company?
It all seems fishy to me. Is this normal practice?

Smartest attack is to put up a page that looks exactly the same as the
legit site, but with your own cheaper crappier knockoff starwars paraphenalia
('duke', 'tewey', 'princess luba') that you sell instead and make the huge
profits.
Not to give anyone any ideas that werent obvious like 15 years ago.
How anyone can tell the internet is legit at a glance is beyond me. Need
to hookup firefox's security warning to my speakers to get a modicum of
alert that SSL is busted, to start, nevermind anything more creative.
That phishers manage to fake sites that look wrong is also beyond me, what's
so hard about 'save page as'?

RE: starwars.com subdomain hijacked?
It seems the subdomain shop.starwars.com is being redirected. Anybody else seeing this? HTML served up looks official, albeit different NS servers and IP Range from main site. Resolves to 209.20.19.60 (shop.starwars.novator2.com.). Couldn't tell you if that's where it's meant to go mind...
