Please be aware that the albanian.com server was not hacked, rather a
security hole that exists in Network Solutions (the company that hosts all
the domain names) was used to re-direct all traffic to another site.  This
is a well known hole, read the following article published in the very
well-respected Slashdot Web
Site: http://slashdot.org/articles/00/02/09/063223.shtml

There were indications that Network Solutions was being sued for not
fixing this security hole...

Btw, this is the lowest form of "hacking" someone's site, and is
considered as a very dirty campaign by those who do it, thus causing more
disgust towards the perpetrators.  Someone suggests that Albanians should
do the same thing to Serbian sites, but I think that it will only do us
more harm.  

Once again, the albanian.com server was not hacked, however due to the
nature of how the internet works, for all the domain name servers to
propagate the correct information from Network Solutions, it will take
additionally 2 to 3 more days... :-(
