deaddrop.us

After posting several times as a guest, I've finally registered. I guess that makes me real!

Hopefully my first real post isn't useless. I did a search and didn't find anything, so...

Either deaddrop.us has been hacked or it's a trailhead.

It looks like a hack, but it is odd... more class than most site takeovers I've seen. (Not to mention, why hack deaddrop.us... It's not, from what I could ever tell, offensive to anyone, or a "prime target" for its visibility (sorry Bill, no offense intended, honest!)) So why do a hack there...

Gotta be a trailhead. (Or a hack.) (Or a fire truck.) Laughing

deaddrop.us has been hacked. (if you do a search on the names of the hackers you'll find they do a lot of it.)

/me sighs... why hack an ARG site though?

Judging from past experience, they probably just run websearches for the software they're currently exploiting and then hit every vulnerable result.

Bummer.

Bummer for deaddrop they got hacked and bummer for us it's not a trailhead.

Ah well, back to Vaporlofts. Let's hope the chumlee curse doesn't kill that one, too.
