Hacking/Hijacking of Armslist web site

[Jenny1234]

It appears that someone has hijacked Armslist.  Tried to visit the site many times this morning and was always redirected to another (unrelated) site. Has anyone else had the same experience?

Try following the links on that site and see what happens.  I just tried and was redirected to another site.  I tried this on multiple computers and got the same result.

All I get is "Server Error"

I get that error sometimes but at other times get redirected to a "listmill" site where a username and password is requested.  I smell an anti-2nd amendment rat.

Someone has been DDOSing it the last 2 weeks

Yeah, I was having trouble posting something on Armslist a week or so ago.

Hadn't noticed until you posted, so I checked this morning. Keep getting the "404 File not found" when I try.

Same for me

Obama told the Men in Black (or maybe the Chinese) to shut it down.

Just noticed this myself. Jade Helm?

[RED333]

Yes, it is down now, strange.

[ArmyBrat61]

Was on it awhile ago...working faster, less lag time and yup....more ads....

[miller_man]

Yep, couldn't get on it all morning. Then, after I tried twice in a row, my computer wouldn't load any website. Did a re-start and other pages loaded fine again.

Was getting ready to put my tinfoil hat on and start yelling about some conspiracy theory.

 

 

Was able to get on it later this afternoon. I've noticed it's been really glitchy and on my phone it redirects me to other sites all the time. Kinda sucks too cause I'm always skimming it.

Maybe it's just me, but I can't see that the site is any faster, and yes, many new ads.

[TripleDigitRide]

I'm using AdBlock, so I don't see a single ad on Armslist.

Not as many listings per page, but with more ads. Don't care for it.

Wheres my option to change it back ? New format sucks azz.

I just revoked the previous permissions from the No-script add-on in Firefox, back to normal ..

Looks like the ole Armslist is back!  I wonder why, to do a fix, or too many complaints?  I like the old version!
