1: *.tcl.tk Domain Appears to Have Been Lost?
Posted by Andrew Helsley on 11/01/15 05:01 AM
Hi all,

Does anyone know what is going on with the *.tcl.tk DNS zone?  It appears to no longer host any TCL/TK content and may actively be distributing less-than-reputable content (potentially NSFW).

If this is expected, than any contacts on the TCL/TK teams should be notified to update the many URLs in the source distribution to point to new hosts...

--------
regards,
Andy

What we see is a result of a domain highjacking attack and known to the tcl core team. alternative (working) domains are http://tcl.activestate.com and for the wiki http://wiki.digitalsmarties.com. The account-holder of the .tk registry was notified on nov 30, but apparently this takes a while (maybe alow slow dns propagation)
