Google and Bing and even Wikipedia itself. Just tried Yahoo, and it's the same weirdness, though I don't know if that might be a echo from one of the others. Amazon is affected, too. Just found DuckDuckGo is also full of it.

One could suspect that certain authorities are suppressing the apparent success of the cyberattack, eh? I recently read Richard Clarke's Cyber War book, and he emphasized how weak America's defenses are against this sort of thing, but I've never heard of one on this apparent scale.
