Title: Coinvisitor Hacked or Seized? Post by: dmatthewstewart on March 09, 2013, 07:13:44 PM So I hop onto Coinvisitor.com and a png image appears on the front page that suggests the site has been seized by federal authorities. But It must be a joke because there is no way that Homeland Security would say "Censorship is Security" proceeded with sayings from Orwell's 1984. Im hoping the site is just under maintenance and the owners thought this was funny to put up temporarily in the meantime. See below for link to screencap

PR Stunt. Title: Re: Coinvisitor Hacked or Seized? Post by: Mike Christ on March 09, 2013, 07:40:35 PM That's pretty funny ;D You're right, it can't be real... Maybe the owner is protesting?

Probably what you just said lol Title: Re: Coinvisitor Hacked or Seized? Post by: Vod on March 09, 2013, 09:29:06 PM I think it's been hacked. Why would the owner redirect to a different domain?
Title: Re: Coinvisitor Hacked or Seized? Post by: dmatthewstewart on March 10, 2013, 02:35:43 AM That domain is a google DNS. Verifiable through network-tools.com or a quick nmap
Could be a PR stunt. The site was growing rapidly and maybe this was a big push along with the current growth. OR... It very well couldve been hacked/defaced and the redirect to the site with this image is just the final result/proof. We wont know until the owner makes an announcement. Im just glad I cashed out recently. I think I only had 0.0002800 btc as of last night when it was still working fine. Title: Re: Coinvisitor Hacked or Seized?

Post by: FarmerBlue on March 10, 2013, 06:39:57 PM changed again so both the ip and dns go to a new site now: http://trololololololololololo.com/ (http://trololololololololololo.com/) funny
Title: Re: Coinvisitor Hacked or Seized? Post by: dmatthewstewart on March 10, 2013, 08:37:50 PM Yeah it was working today and then after a little while the site transferred me to the trololol site
I hope this isnt the owner doing this because this is starting to become a pain in the ass. It was funny yesterday but I am going to stop visiting the site if this is going to continue Title: Re: Coinvisitor Hacked or Seized?
