If you under­stand how “Domain Names” work on the web then you will under­stand what I am say­ing here:

A for­mer staff mem­ber of Al-Arabiya who reg­is­tered the Al-Arabiya “domain name” with his name giv­ing his address as the owner of the “alarabiya.net” by “Net­so­lu­tion” through “Go Dady” is the start of the so called “Al-Arabiya hacked”.

That explains why Al-Arabiya in the last few days changed the domain name from “alarabiya.net” to “alarabiya.tv”.

The Saudi satel­lite TV thinks that the read­ers are idiots say­ing the hack­ers took the domain name. There is noth­ing called tak­ing the domain name. Hack­ers can “hijack” the domain name but still it is reg­is­tered with the owner’s address. Reviv­ing a hijacked domain name is a mat­ter of minutes.
