"A hacked county website in California that redirected users to a
pornographic site triggered the federal government late Tuesday to
initiate a system-wide shutdown of all government sites in the Golden
State.
The process was never completed, after state officials urged the feds
to reverse their decision to take offline all state websites bearing
the "ca.gov" suffix. The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is
responsible for all ".gov" sites."
"The hacker apparently made an adjustment in the domain name system (DNS) server that rerouted certain traffic, Hanacek said."
