The domain name of popular life hacking blog, MakeUseOf got hacked today and is now inaccessible due to the reason that the original owners of the domain have initiated a process to get back their domain so the hosting provider currently issuing the domain has locked it for the time being.

According to their posting on a new temporary blog:

We are temporarily moving to this Blogger sub-domain for the moment because Make Use Of’s GoDaddy hosting account was hacked earlier today and the domain name, makeuseof.com, was transferred by the hacker to another web hosting company based in Dubai. We have absolutely no idea how this was achieved but we are currently in full contact with GoDaddy’s fraud department to get our legal property back. Obviously this is deeply embarrassing for us but we will not rest until the domain name is back in our possession. We have all worked too long and too hard to watch it all slip away like this.
