Don't know if you've heard about the DNS exploit which allows the attacker to redirect a person away from the website he's actually looking for ...

The flaw Kaminsky uncovered in February makes it much easier than originally thought to insert bogus information into the Internet's routing infrastructure. A successful attack would let criminals silently redirect requests for a legitimate site to a bogus one set up to skim personal information, such as passwords to online banking accounts, from duped users.

Kaminsky, the person responsible for building the first Metasploit hacking toolkit, also became the first victim of this exploit when hackers redirected his website to a fake Google site packed with ads (probably hoping to make a quick buck)

Kaminsky definately got pwned or does this one deserve a "FAIL"
