The Daily Domainer had an article about this in today's issue, but it was being reported as the domain had expired and someone had registered it from them. The problem is that before somene can register it, it has to be off-line for 2-3 months first, and you would think someone would notice the domain expired and let Google know before the 30-day grace period was up.

Today: "Google.de picked up by drop catcher"
===================================================================

Dear Domainer,

Losing a valuable domain due to your own failure to renew it on
time can be a very difficult experience. You should do everything
in your power so you don't ever have to face such a situation.

Just ask Google. Their German domain, google.de, dropped last night,
and it was immediately picked up by a German drop catching firm.

There is little doubt that Google will get its domain back. But
this doesn't apply to smaller companies or individual domain owners
who don't have Google's recognition, goodwill and money.

Renew your domains. It's not worth losing them.

Sincerely,

Rene Connor

DAILY DOMAINER NEWS: Google.de Drops, Picked Up By Drop Catcher
===================================================================

Last night around midnight German time, the domain google.de started
displaying a "no site available" notice by German webhosting provider
goneo.de:

While the domain's name servers are now back to the usual
ns1.google.com to ns2.google.com and google.de displays the
German Google site again, google.de remains under ownership
of "favo" from Wiesbaden, a German town of 274,000 inhabitants:

To check if that's still the case, you can go to the Denic Whois
and enter google.de:

http://www.denic.de/de/whois/index.jsp

What had happened?

Apparently Google forgot to renew its domain. The new owner's
website http://www.favo.org redirects to http://www.freshdomains.de,
which is a German company that specializes in catching expired
domains.

>From freshdomains.de (translated to English):

"Through mistakes of your provider or ignorance of the actual
value of a domain, hundreds of domains of all extensions expire
every day. With our automated domain analysis we supply you
with the best domains around the clock, even by email if you
so desire. Sophisticated filters and our domain analysis help
you separate the chaff from the wheat. A special benefit is
our automated domain registration: Register the desired domain
name and as soon as it becomes available, we register it
automatically for you. Protect your own domains from the
mistakes of others. Convince yourselves of the quality of our
services!"

And who wouldn't be convinced, now that you got google.de?

It would be interesting to know exactly what happened. I couldn't make too much out of what was posted on the blog, but it sounded like some kind of DNS cache poisoning.
