I hardly think you've "been compromised" - does the same for me as well. And I doubt it's nothing brain-cracking, but something is forwarding you (me) back to localhost as soon as the address is resolved funny, I'd say. Traceroute might give something..
Hmh, setting domainname to resolve to loopback is fairly common practice. This is what registrars do when a site is spamvertised or otherwise breaks rules.
[QUOTE=davcefai;3022223]Thanks for the feedback. This is probably a consequence of this article:
Yeah, the site was up when I wrote the article. Note, that I did not mean for the site to get hit with a ton of traffic or encourage anyone to do anything malicious. The article actually got dugg, and linked to by 5 or 6 very popular sites resulting in thousands of visitors to my article in a short period of time. I'm guessing most of the visitors could not resist the temptation to check out a site with a URL linuxsucks.org. At first, it just was giving a 500 error, and then someone flipped the DNS to point to 127.0.0.1. If anyone knows the guy who runs the site, traffic has since died down on that article and it is probably safe to put the site back up.
Also Note: Yes, I still google my own site, cuz I'm lame.
