If you click the small white-bordered box under the title on the 'about us' page, you are taken to a text file that looks like it is filled with a DNA sequence; there seem to be some interspersed letters that don't represent DNA bases (i.e. not ATCG).

If you're reading this, I'm dead. I saw something Jinteki didn't want anyone to see. What you're reading now is my insurance. If something happens to me, I've rigged some computer programs to release my data files to the net. I can't do too much at once, or IS will notice and purge the system. If you want to expose Jinteki for the murdering scum they are, then keep your head down and gather up the data I've left behind. Don't be too obvious, or Jinteki will catch on and shut you down. I've encrypted everything to try and obscure the trail a bit more, but if you talk to anyone else about this, do it on the Phantom forum. I've rigged it to be invisible to Jinteki. For the next step, I'm going to have my Secretary agent vet you out and see if you're okay, so you'll need to enter your contact email below. If you check out, you'll hear from me again on the 3rd of September.

Looks like they have a big job ahead of them...

The dash link doesn't seem to work in Safari either.

I don't suppose you could give those of us not on IE direct links to the pages you're talking about?

I found the genome thing by looking in the source - here, but I can't find the other one with the message.

Removing all the ATGCs from the genome gets you this:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
fk=bdefh

Not sure what it means yet though.

Also I'm struck by the weirdness of the names on the "Contact Us" page - particularly Kimura Utada. It's two last names, and would be a bit like naming someone "Smith Jones" in English.

Translating the DNA code there into protein code gives nada.

However, teh page isn't static, it's a perl script that links to a database. Change the id= to some different numbers.

id=1 returns "No such subject in database" but numbers near the one we're given do return other data.

I removed ACGT and got different result.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
fk=abcdefgh


also note that you can change the id GET variable and get different ACGT code but I think the code above stays the same.

Direct links for all of us not IE users Very Happy

Click the dash above the Jinteki_Corp.html page --> http://jintekicorp.com/Jinteki_Corp/-.html

I don't see an email box anywhere though...

I replied to the mysterious post on the forum, I'll see what he writes back to see if he's one of us or not...

Those who haven't done so, get a login onto the forums. R has set up a special forum that Jinteki can't see (as he mentioned in -.html) above.

Hmm the links posted above still aren't working for me in FF, may just have to wait until I'm at work to do this.

On another note did everyone notice the symbols above the line on each page? They are the same shapes on most of them, but some pages have one of them bolded. Also, it's odd that they all seem to be cutoff somewhat.

One other thing was the language on their mission statement. Anyone else think this corporation is exploiting either alien beings or robots for the betterment of mankind? They used "Humanity" quite a lot.
