Patriots Official Website - Hacked?

Tried logging on to Patriots.com from my favorites and got the NY Giants website, thought I hit a wrong button and then typed Patriots.com into the address toolbar and got....The NY Giants website!

Let the games begin!

I get the Patriots website. You sure someone's not playing a trick on your computer by changing the URL your favorite points to?

He said he typed patriots.com, not just used a favorite.

Assuming you are accessing this from work... if so, someone there is probably playing a trick by redirecting the web address lookup.

I'd vote this - someone in IT is having fun with DNS resolution

If you (the OP) want to test this, and your IT department wouldn't get pissed off at you for playing with your network settings, go to Start->Run and type "cmd" to open up a shell.

Then type:

netsh <enter>
interface ip <enter>
add dns "Local Area Connection" 4.2.2.1 index=1 <enter>
exit <enter>
exit <enter>

That'll force your computer to go to an outside DNS server (4.2.2.1 is an open DNS server). To get things back to normal just type:

ipconfig /release <enter>
ipconfig /renew <enter>

Definitely was something going on at the time I posted as I just went in and the Patriots site did come up.
