Approx. transl. : at the end of January it became known that one of the main domains of the Perl programming language - Perl.com - had been hijacked. This caused a mixed reaction in the community of both lovers of the language and its opponents. Now that everything is over and justice has been restored, one of the most famous supporters of Perl - brian d foy - talked about what happened and how the community achieved a positive outcome of events. We present to your attention the translation of his note.
We lost control of the Perl.com domain for a week. Now that the problem has been fixed, we can go into detail about what happened and how we dealt with it. The incident only affected the Perl.com domain, no other community resources were affected. The site itself was still there, but the DNS gave out different IP addresses.
