aM i LoST ?

is it just me or has meridiantelekoms.com been defaced by some malicious type search engine? i am fond of using firefox’s address bar as my search bar. using it usually directs me to Google results or the site itself. it still works for multiple keyword queries, but i noticed when i use only one word, it redirects me to some search engine type page..

at first i freaked out since i thought i may have some spyware on my computer. i did complete scans with my zonealarm security suite, but found nothing.
i then had an idea. since it was loading pages like http://rayland/ i thought why not ping it? i did, and the result startled me. it was pinging rayland.meridiantelekoms.com . i had to look up the whois database on this. i used domaintools.com and searched for meridiantelekoms.com and 69.64.63.180. the thumbnail of meridiantelekoms sure is different from what the site looks now…

with all this said, i’m wondering is it safe for SmartBro subscribers to still be using the internet? as i recall, meridiantelekoms is the backend of the whole smartbro system. but for their site to be defaced like that? are they having issues with security? below are some screenshots.

i’m calling out to all smartbro subscribers out there.. are you also experiencing this?
