The only way to really kill them is to drive a wooden stake through their hearts and bury them in consecrated ground........Wait.... that's Vampires......

Looks hijacked, but it could be anyone.  I could easily register www.acompanythatreallyreallyblowsreallybad.com (or something) and redirect it to, say, Microsoft.

A little poking around shows the domain itself expired in Aug (09) and was snapped up by a domain aggregator.  Further poking popped up the name of the person who did what appears to be the original website and ongoing maintenance.

That person does not appear to be affiliated with CAP anymore.

so, was this an aggressive hack, or an innocent oversight by a webmaster

I'd bet the latter - there doesn't appear to be a whole lot of fire under the other program, nor does it appear to have a CP anyway.

My guess is that at some point that domain was setup as a default 404, and redirected after the "unpleasantness", only to pop back up when something broke or someone started making changes to the approved site.
