Pockits.com got hacked!

[Grant Lamontagne]

I just got a call from Bob at Pockits.com and he told me that his site was hacked!

Sure enough, I looked and it is down! 

www.pockits.com

As you can imagine, he's pretty pissed, but maybe he can turn this around into a marketing campaign!  "Pockits Brand sheaths are stronger than the Internet, more durable than most websites!"

Seriously Bob, if you are reading this, I hope you get it sorted soon buddy!  It royally sucks when this happens, and I'm sure everyone here is pulling for you!

Hacked, or DDOSed?

Hope it doesn't hurt his business too much; hopefully he'll sort it quick

Def,

Thanks for letting everybody know and yes I am pissed  !! However we will weather the storm the same way our Utility Holsters do!

The www.pockits.com site has been a legitimate site since it's launch in Y2K. This is the first time we have had a problem so I guess we're pretty fortunate. 

We will be back up ASAP!

Thanks,
Pockitsman

Can we get an update when the site is repaired?  I don't have sophisticated security, and don't need to accidently click into an attack page.

[Grant Lamontagne]

It's been neutralized by his ISP- it should be safe to click on now, although you won't see much except a warning.  We wouldn't post dangerous links!

Either way, I'm sure Bob will keep us updated!

If I click through and ignore the 'warning' everything looks good but every link I click brings up the warning page 

What I meant earlier was if a potential customer went to Bob's website and got the warning page they naturally be wary 

I do hope you get it sorted soon 

Bloody internet pirates  You wouldn't get this from a ninja

Looks like it's back online. If I were king of the world I'd hand out death sentence to every hacker, but then again I'd hand out the same thing to a lot other scumbags too.

You and me both Jie....

That probably explains how it was hacked. Old CMSes have more holes in them than a Skeletool. Ironically, getting stamped as an unsecure site can be more damaging than the attack itself, since those visiting will get a very scary looking message

Thanks for all your comments and input! We are up any running again,  I checked the site first thing this morning, at 6:35 MST! I'm with you guys I would love to be able to track down these hackers and neutralize them  !! Hopefully back to business as usual without any more problems!

I just checked out the site, and I'm still trying to figure out just what it is they they sell.  Is it just a custom embroidery place?

They sell pouches, holsters, etc. for your multitools, flashlights, phones, etc. 

IIRC they design and produce the cases that Nite Ize sell
