Ryan King and Rory Andrew Godfrey was the member of the Lizard Squad hackers group. It is not clear whether anyone of them is involved in the hack or it is quite possible that attacker is trying to expose the real identity of the hacking crew.
As like last hack of Lizard Squard, where they have defaced the Google Vietnam domain by hijacking DNS of Vietnam domain, same thing happens here also. Hackers have again hijack the DNS of Lenovo and redirect the lenovo.com to new webpage.
