You crapper encounter loads of screenshots here and here, but the important field study spinous to the website shown on crowning of this post.

There’s a taste of fault most how the grapple was performed exactly, but it appears as if the hackers institute a artefact into NIC.ma, which controls the DNS for the country, and targeted the Google field study especially. The field was spinous to a assorted server, and the scheme tender above was shown when grouping proven to admittance the see engine. Google ostensibly at digit saucer automatically relayed visitors from Marruecos to Google.com instead of Google.co.ma, but it took a patch to intend the latter functional aright again.
