>Dear New York Times Reader,

>As you may be aware, on Tuesday, access to our Web site was 
impacted by a malicious attack at our domain name registrar.
>
>This resulted in many users being redirected to a bad domain 
address instead of NYTimes.com.
>
>We resolved the issue by early Tuesday evening but there have 
been some lingering problems due to some Internet Service 
Providers not yet updating our Domain Name System records.
>
>We fully expect that all access will be restored by the end of 
the day today and we deeply regret any inconvenience this may 
have caused.

>Sincerely,
