I wouldn't assume that the DNS entry has been hijacked. I very recently had
this same experience with a domain I work on. It got redirected to a parking
page. I thought it had been hijacked. It turned out that the hosting
provider had accidentally changed the IP address associated with the domain
and that that had somehow caused the site to go to the parking page.
