Google DNS Glitch Caused Outage

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the not-much-else-happens-on-sunday-morning dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google suffered a pretty long outage saturday evening, due to some DNS glitches, according to company spokesperson. All Google services were down for a while, including Gmail and Google AdSense. There seems to be a DNS hijack, as some screen grabs show that Google.com was redirecting to another site, SoGoSearch.com. "
