RetorBlast.com hacked?? or new site soon? 9-27-07
« on: September 27, 2007, 11:17:47 am »
Is it just me or has anyone been to Retroblast.com lately and noticed a flash plugin load up after like 4-5 seconds of having the page open, it goes from the main page to some regular grey looking background page with nothing shown other then a retroblast logo fading in and out with the words "Beware, Coward" as the main title of the page.

Take a look for yourselves

It seems like it! A lousy hack btw...

I wonder who's against such a great man as Kevin Steele. I was a true fan of his site due to his video reviews. Too bad it's no more. Yet... :)

Definitely, infact now that I take a second look, is that a brand new logo altogether?? I dont recall seeing that retroblast logo before so it could be a kind of promotion showing a new retroblast site coming soon. Any ideas anyone?

Never heard of a hacker that went out and added new logos to websites.  Don't they usually just stick to spaming porn, religion and politics?

I'd keep watching that page.  8)

I noticed this earlier too. I saw the redirection and expected it to land on our mirror. Either something is afoot, or this is a hack.

I hope there is no blue carpet there.

I think a forum where a bunch of drunks hang out might be responsible.

very strange.. its got a 7second refresh to a swf file called fady2.swf which makes me think someone spent at least more than two seconds working on this and this is the second revision to the flash object haha.. probably thinking way too deep on it but eh something to think about.
