Given that all the cases I have seen have been hacks on the registrar, I
can't see why it would be limited to one TLD. But very few of the sites I
use are outside .com


What I am referring to here is what happened to therpf.com recently when
their domain name was hijacked by some squatter who then inserted a proxy
to the real site but serving their own ads (plus malware no doubt).
Wikipedia refers to it as Domain Hijacking rather than DNS, but that is
what I meant.
