Our Bad, DNS Misconfiguration Caused ProPakistani to Redirect to an Unknown URL

First thing first, it was my mistake, and I accept it – I shouldn’t had played with core DNS settings of our server, but it happened and ProPakistani.PK started redirecting to www.techlighter.com (an unknown blog for you – which is being operated by one of our writers).

No, we were not hacked.

Our Primary IP for base URL is 173.199.131.188, which somehow (by mistake obviously) got altered to 173.199.131.189 – and all this started happening.

We had reverted back to the original IP as soon as it was changed, but that was too late.

While we apologize for the inconvenience, we are trying hard to speed up the process of getting back live. Thanks for all those emails, DMs, SMSes, calls – this truly made us realize how badly you missed us.
