We've been in contact with the organisation responsible for managing this domain name and the issue should be resolved.”Few hours after the incident, MYNIC, Malaysian registrar of .my domains, has managed to resolve the issue and released a statement on its website:Dear Valued Customers,We can confirm there was unauthorised redirection of www.google.com.my and www.google.my to another IP address by a group which called themselves TeaM MADLEETS.The problem was alerted in the early morning and MYNIC Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) immediately started to resolve the issue. The domain name www.google.com.my has been restored to their correct information at 7.10 am today and www.google.my is still resolving.At the moment, we are undertaking all necessary measures to monitor the situation and prevent further related issues.Google Malaysia’s domain faced similar issue earlier in July.
