Title: Bitcoincharts hacked?
Post by: QueenElizabeth on November 10, 2013, 11:51:46 AM
Why do I get an ad for a German company instead of the usual homepage?

maybe your computer has been hijacked.

No, I get the same:

It's the website of a German diet advisor.

Yeah, that one exactly. And if I try to go directly to the charts, I just get a 404.

Both sites are hosted in Germany.

e-l-g.de             : 88.198.231.8 is from Germany(DE) in region Western Europe
bitcoincharts.com: 176.9.79.196 is from Germany(DE) in region Western Europe

Maybe they're hosted by the same provider and they fucked something up.

(I'm getting the same posted website)

My guess would be that someone restored the parallels image on your-server.de that belongs on 176.9.79.205 (mail.pfaffender.net) to 176.9.79.196 (bitcoinwatch & bitcoincharts), or is routing the ip to the wrong vm. Dumb admin or such; the dns & domain info doesn't appear hijacked.

And it's open-source, that's awesome. Wish there were more sites out there like bitcoincharts / bitcoinwisdom / bitcoinity that were open-source.

If you seek live price charts you can use the Market dashboard of The Genesis Block:

Looks like it's an identical repeat of this:

Provider (Hetzner) messed the routing up. I couldn't even reach the server and the support didn't understand the problem ("Ping works fine so your server is up").

The site you saw seems to be served from 176.9.79.205 while bitcoincharts.com is 176.9.79.196.

I've PM'd tcatm, since obvously emailing @bitcoincharts will be futile.

If I had a dollar for every time I have emailed that site and been ignored....................

Management doesn't even has the professionalism to reply to emails.

Why post an email address if you are not going to reply?

Meanwhile Ms Lindemann gets lots of free advertising for her diet and nutrition business. I wonder if she accepts Bitcoin.  :D

If I had a dollar every time I emailed and got a response, I would have one dollar, because I only sent one email and got a response. Maybe you should cut back on your emailing.

Our provider (Hetzner) messed up it's routing and telephone support can not be reached. It looks like it's working again but I have no idea whether problems will return or not.
