[kictanet] [Skunkworks] Google Kenya hacked?

[Adam Nelson]

I brought it up a few months ago in Skunkworks, but until the .ke top level
domain is signed, you can't really trust the identify of any site under .ke
that doesn't use an SSL certificate (i.e. the regular google.co.ke without
"https").

I'm pretty confident that Google's systems weren't cracked and that this
was something like a DNS attack on one of the ISPs or similar.
