Hijacked?

I popped over to http://www.benzforum.com and I got some hijack page. Could one of you all see if you can access it? That is the right address, isn't it?

Is this well known or did it just happen? They may have been hacking them for a couple of days, I tried a few times to get on their home page the last couple of days and it would never fully load, like they were under a DOS attack.

I don't go over there very much. Is the guy who owns that site the one with whom some forum member over there was heatedly disputing a parts order? Old memory, can't recall the details... might be a motive if that's it though...

Mercedes forums or any forums? Do they do any damage beyond putting up a profane web page with really bad grammer?

No, that was the other one, benzworld.org. The disputer seemed pretty rationale, so I doubt it was him.

Well, if it makes them feel any better, I agree with them. F***'s All's Government. And to heck with the people who live in All, too.

My apologies to MercedesShop for taking this space to respond about the attack on BenzForum. The attack occurred overnight and the site will be back up and running momentarily. It is my hope that this hijacker is found and stopped.

BenzForum is back online!

MBCanada got hacked about 3 times this last year. Some people just have too much spare time on their hands.
