Mail Yahoo! Briefly Hacked?

I was going to check my Yahoo! Mail and was faced with an unusual sight. This message: “The owners of the domain name yahoo.com are accepting offers from interested parties willing to obtain ownership rights over the domain name. You may learn more about how to place your offer by clicking HERE.”

First I thought I had typed the wrong address, but I checked my spelling: mail.yahoo.com , correctly spelled. Checked again a couple minutes later and seemed to be working again. Anyways interesting phenomenon.
