Paul Vixie as a prank once collaborated with Jon Postel
and hijacked some of the root servers, redirected some of
their answers (Internic's page?) to their own sites.  But
Postel was one of the most powerful people in the 'net and
Vixie is in charge of BIND, so they had a bit of an advantage
over your average script-kiddie. :-)

Interesting - now the FBI would call that prank "cyber-terrorism".
