Not good. Comcast, in the news lately for throttling peer to peer file sharing services such as Bit Torrent, was hacked last night according to BroadBand Reports and this gleeful posting at TorrentFreak .
I actually visited Comcast.com for the first time last night (even though I am a Comcast subscriber.) I was looking for information on their Blast service which promises up to 16 mb of download speeds (except for file sharing 🙂 I was surprised that they are such a heavey duty content provider. Does that really work? Do subscribers actually visit their ISP’s home page? I know that used to work when AOL was hyper inflating their user base through mass mailing CDs but doesn’t everybody use an ISP as a utility and set their home page to Google?
Regardless of the behavior of the masses, Comcast took a hit to their content model when their DNS record was compromised and people were directed to a hacker page.
