I'm suspecting a rabbit-hole here.

I found this animation online, and I have reasons to believe it's a rabbit-hole for a new game.

[edit Subject to describe what has been found rather than just "suspecting a rabbit-hole" - kona]

The "root" of the domain says it'll be back up Dec 1st.

The 6 boxes are fields that you can type in, so I'm expecting a button to submit...

I opened the .swf file in a Flash decompiler and saw a lot more. Wash my eyes now. Actually, it's nothing bad, really. I'm poking around a bit more before passing judgement. But yeah, looks to be a rabbithole rather than a real company.

I know what the correct code is supposed to be, but it doesn't appear to do anything when its entered.

ETA: You have to enter the code, right-click and press "Play"...

Next steps

And then you click on the girl w/glasses in the upper right. It plays a phone recorder message "Hi this is Amy leave a message after the beep please"
Then you have a menu of items - choose Scan and I think those must be clues (d'oh!). If you click on Programs you are able to enter text after clickin on Ellen. It only allows 7 characters so I'm guessing it's a phone number?

It's not. Based on the images in the "Scan" link, I tried a few guesses until one worked:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
"Iliad", given the reference to the Achilles Heel and Paris

Was a bit blurry yet here's the Trojan War reffy from the bottom of the Support Page:

AND ALWAYS THAT INNOCENT LOOKING HORSE, CONTAINING MORE THAN YOU SUSPECT


Looks interesting. Sorta stating the obvious but "'once a Trojan horse has been installed on a target computer system, it is possible for a hacker to access it remotely and perform various operations". Plus Hector & Aias (Ajax) were Iliad opponents.

Interesting. After putting in Nighthawk's pwd, the message seems to be coming from some sort of AI; talks about Amy having abandoned it, and the next report coming Monday. Also something about keeping on with its directives... very strange, but I guess we wait till Monday?

a few notes:

Original youtube video was posted by Samantha Grins..there is a Samantha Grins of facebook...but not convinced its related...but also at the top the channel it says Sammy's Tube. (i didn't play the sammy's arg --- how was that spelt?)

Hector Aias = as Amandel noted Hector and Aias duelled as opponents several times during the Trojan war...also Aias = AI (when Aisas committed suicide: "From his blood sprang a red flower, as at the death of Hyacinthus, which bore on its leaves the initial letters of his name Ai, also expressive of lament"

vaergil = vergil/virgil? he wrote the Aeneid though not Iliad, but it still does have to do with Troy

ellen = Hellen

pruss = Paris?

ticker = maybe Aias brother: Teucer? He was one of the soldiers who actually hid in the Trojan Horse

i've got nothing on opi though...so maybe barking up the wrong tree

d'oh = Homer....GET IT??

Don't trust it: Maybe Don't Trust I.T.?

a person's weakest spot? = Achilles heel?

Apparently its updated, the firewall no longer contains more then we should have seen. I think its because you guys :p


EDIT: The friend who linked me this movie, is also linking to this Facebook profile (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001738271985), who in turns asks us to look for this person (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001633817765). Strangely enough this Facebook is nearly empty and it says she stopped using it....
