wildstoves.co.uk locked by FBI!?

[whale_omelette]

Am i going mad/computer losing it or is this actually a thing:

It says the website has been seized by the FBI, has it been hacked?
The link to the fbi website is a real one.

Edit: site back up and running

That's all a bit odd isn't it!!!

Anti-piracy laws, apparently.

 

[welchyd1]

It's been hacked.

 

[whale_omelette]

Hope they get it sorted soon, either way it won't be good for business!

 

[welchyd1]

Maybe it's not hacked, I wonder of we will be contacted in 24 hours.

 

[whale_omelette]

If they check my browsing history they will probably think i'm some sort of militia/deviant *burns hard drive*

 

[ozzy1977]

Its hacked or else the yanks are blocking british websites which isnt on.

 

[whale_omelette]

It looks like a hack to be honest (now i'v woken up more!) the whole thing just looks 'off'.
I didn't see the bit about them contacting within 24 hours, but that just says it's nonsence doesn't it really? I just wanted to perv on some pans and stoves.

Look, we spend all our free t'internt time looking at cabin porn, sharp knives, woodstoves, and our outdoor time wearing camo and sitting about unbugged campfire discussing bringing down Kapitalism with hand carved spoons. We are all potental uni bombers, you know.

Stay safe, play angry birds, post your real opinions on facebook, always sign in with google + and forget what that horrible Mr snowdon says about them collecting data and lack of privacy.

Hacked and probably happily farming the details of those who visit.

 

[brambles]

Looks like a variation on this scam

How on earth would they "contact you" with only an IP address? Do not click on the contact them link under any circumstances!!

 

[whale_omelette]

If it was the FBI they would obviously just get your details elsewhere, illegally, knowing the states, ha!

Its a hack gents, trust me. Next step if you click through is to try and back infect your PC with a keylogger.

Stay away, and if you've visited, run a malware scan.

 

[whale_omelette]

it's been sorted and the site is back up

OK CHris ... Keep your PAnts on...lol

The contact us button just directs you too the genuine FBI site.

The stove forum was locked down for 24 or 48 hours while the contents were inspected. The site was given notice of the action and as this 'British' site was hosted on American servers there was nowt that could be done to stop it.

Looks like the "Money pac Ransom Virus"is still making the rounds

 

[whale_omelette]

it wasn't the money pac virus that locks up your computer and demands payment.
it was just a page exclusive to that domain saying this page has been seized by the FBI due to piracy breaches, which was why it was odd.
