Yep that's one of the cyber squatting companies.
this basically means the original holders have not renewed their
registration in time
Sorry I have no idea how they'd go about getting their domain back

Hi Pat
The web site may not have been hacked but possibly the domain name
has been "cyber-squatted" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyber_squatting

Whois.net shows fruitipedia.com was owned by an Indian company and
the domain expired on 5 Feb 2009. <http://www.whois.net/whois_new.cgi?d=fruitipedia&tld=com

The current IP address of www.fruitipedia.com resolves to
69.64.147.16 which was traced to Bellevue, Wa, USA.
Did your acquaintance renew their domain registration in time?

An acquaintance of mine developed a popular website devoted to
fruit information. This website has now been hijacked by some
other entity. Actually, I had seen this particular site come up in
responce to clicking other URLS while doing some fruit research.
Obviously the hijacking is extensive.
My question: can anyone direct me to an appropriate place where I
can make a complaint and try to get some action in undoing the
hijacking?
The proper URL is www.fruitipedia.com. The hijacker has added the
words Fruti and Pedia to the fake site, using javascript that
directs one to various other sites, and the closest I could find to
the originator turned up this:
<body> <form name="form1" method="post" action="Default.aspx"
id="form1"> <div> <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE"
id="__VIEWSTATE" value="/
wEPDwUKMTYyNzcxNDY4NmRkyQ2yJKovz0ezDau7NpEIvDxI54c=" /> </div>
<div> This page does nothing. </div> </form> </body>
On behalf of my friend, I will be grateful for advice.
Pat
