Tata Consulting Services’ (Indian IT outsourcing company) tcs.com domain name/website had it’s DNS hijacked yesterday with the hijackers putting a simple “for sale” sign up according to theregister.co.uk.

The firm managed to get their name back today but only after getting the hackers quite a bit of publicity from various security/hack sites.

The for sale text asked for all inquiries to be sent to abed_uk@hotmail.com.

Ironically, tcs.com prides itself at being a supplier of web security services.
