Foremost, Cyng, I totally applaud your ethics and sentiments. Marc de Waal updated his FB Wall with an apology Of Sorts. Rolling Eyes

UPDATE: Infosale is now viewable. Best in Firefox for me. Noticed the below in the source code which along with Amy's FB update today suggests she may be involved in the employee email section re "secured and locked the subject."

Code:
Directive: Protection.
Urgency: Medium level.
Required connection: Facebook.com.
Message Board: Amy DeLugi.
Login: ****
Pass: ****
Amy. Where are you...? 


Also, found Infosale HAZ FB: http://tinyurl.com/2afze4k & this is Meta on the PM, valid imo as they are also replying IG on FB:

EDIT: "Contact" now hyperlinks to First Contact between Ellen and Amy

Note in the email that they mention the 6 ciphers for the 'firewall'
stored in different locations

Back to work. Website must be up and running tomorrow. Leave the sitemap for now, fix the leaks.
We will see if more has leaked by thursday.

/We have tried all we can and most things have been fixed. We are still working on more.
/Besides that, the sitemap is still clunky. We can't decipher the problem though. I thought you might.
/We can't locate the leak, so we are assuming it was a one-time occassion.
/It also seems some people broke into our security and traced the security code. I have changed it.

//We have reason to believe your work is not thorough enough. Across we have reportedly dead or dislocated links.
//Fix it.

The question is how to get the code again....

Noticed the blinking letters in the Contact/trashdump are a hidden msg leading here:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
http://www.infosale.com/assets/sheep

Checking their "Privacy" reveals how private info is gathered and used 'tho I haven't found a further msg from Amy there

Also, there appears to be a msg as an anagram ("Open Sesame"?) in the Sitemap after first clicking on the other sections.
Where to use that? Ses is the old Dutch for 6 so maybe Sesame= six/amy. The first number in the firewall crack?

ETA: Monster Marc has posted on FB the first bit of Amy's diary http://www.mediafire.com/?8m87omt2moxzsr

@ellocia: Am a she, funny how eyes play tricks and THX.

EDIT: No worries so No sorry, ellocia. And there's a beaut reveal when the pages are clicked in the correct order:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
To spell "Open Sesame" i.e.Products, About Us, Sitemap, Home & Firewall. "Message" Hyperlink appears on the Sitemap:

if (drtf[.t == awesome) then {

P ,ttg kt']# ))) uyd]]tg#
8 ,o.mtyf u[ ))) .t#
))) enty 8 gdif#
))) ,o.mty pf 4

== ? }

Am clueless on the hidden msg's meaning. Only know it's NOT Qwerty ↔ Dvorak. And a new mail (Musical clue) at Home.

you're right its not, but it does have do with the keyboard, sure what it means but looks like its another riddle maybe:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I Need Help 1888 trapped 1
6 numbers to 888 me 1
888 qver 6 days 1
888 number is 2

or maybe

I need help #888 trapped #
6 numbers to 888 me #
888 qver 6 days #
888 number is 2



EDIT: empl_888SPLATinfosale.net doesn't exist, so i guess not but im not sure what the "QVER" part means

Cool @siats phous: Welcome to uF and neat hat-trick. Now that I SEE it maybe something like:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Use keyboard 2 spaces to the left :

I need help! 888 (or***) trapped!
6 numbers to 888 me!
888 qver 6 days!
888 number is 2


Tho am also not getting the "qver" bit and had already tried emailing the empl nbrs with no joy. Maybe a possibility later?

Is the musical clue at home you refer to at:
http://www.infosale.net/assets/chordless.php

Im not sure why but the dah dah dah daaaaaaaaaahhhhhmm keeps reminding me of Beethoven's Fifth

It also says "We have lost all chords in our musical tapestry,
playing only flatnotes and that only when we have to."
Beethoven's Fifth is in C minor with has 3 flats: E, A, B

Not sure if that has anything to do with anything tho lol

Well opening it up in IE is a rather bad experience, but it did reveal this...

civilization, throwing overboard most common decencies. We have the patience of a

ETA #2: And you don't technically have to click in order to get the message link...

!!Hello Booba!! Very Happy

Agree with siats phous that Beethoven's 5th is reffied in the ""Dah dah dah daaaahmmmm". The L: and R: denote a piano piece and the Letters mentioned are only the notes "Without chords" (msg title).

[SPEC] Laughing **Having flashback of cello bow being smaked on my pudgy fingers by cello teacher 'tho am seeing more a piano concerto No. than one of his sonatas here.** Just a guess. ETA: Noticed the below in today's Email Message2 source code.
Code:
Who are you...? I am not Amy.
Who am I? Ellen.

Just looking at the last page of a bunch of new threads and thought I'd mention that the 1st 4 notes of Beethoven's 5th is often mentioned as representing the letter "V" in Morse code.

I'm guessing the original six digit code has changed and we are going to be given the new code one piece at a time.

The Firewall Flash is significantly downsized and doesn't contain anything of merit, so I'm guessing the validation for the data entry won't be active until all six digits are provided. Guess that's the only way they can regulate access to it.
