    If they can change the page to a message, then they probably have the access needed to redirect the URL.

      Oh nvm, I wasn’t aware they’d done that. The article only talks about the outage.

      ETA did anyone see this message, or have a screenshot of it? I can’t find a single article about it. I don’t mean the screenshot of the Operation Dreadnought website that’s attached to this post.

      Unless they can edit DNS records, but that’s even harder to do.
