It's a dns attack most likely, nothing to do with MGS4.

UPDATE: It looks like it could be a DNS issue. It looks like Amazon's DNS entry got hacked. Here's what results from a Whois search for Amazon.com:

Smokey:~ jlgolson$ whois amazon.com

Whois Server Version 2.0


Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered

with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net

for detailed information.


AMAZON.COM.ZZZZZ.GET.LAID.AT.WWW.SWINGINGCOMMUNITY.COM

AMAZON.COM.MORE.INFO.AT.WWW.BEYONDWHOIS.COM

AMAZON.COM.IS.N0T.AS.1337.AS.WWW.GULLI.COM

To single out one record, look it up with "xxx", where xxx is one of the

of the records displayed above. If the records are the same, look them up

with "=xxx" to receive a full display for each record.

A reply on that page:

your "update" with conjecture that it's DNS based is really, really uninformed.

try your "whois" test with microsoft.com or apple.com ... it's the same thing.

your awareness of how the version of the "whois" command operates is the only thing that's been compromised.

You do understand a whois will typically not have all that sex stuff in it.
