Either VNNIC was hacked or someone got Google credentials... I hope it is the later.

Sorry, but why would you hope it was the latter?
Maybe a single customer getting owned is better than all the customers getting owned?
An NIC exploit may be widely repeatable.
While I'm not 100% sure, it's likely that VNNIC has been 0wned.

Rationale: VNNIC doesn't provide any online DNS management tools. One has to submit a paper request in person to change any DNS records.

Edit: it looks like it's the registrar WebNic.cc that got hacked.

Papers have nothing to do with their infrastructure IMHO..
Or their registrar, WebNic.cc perhaps.
