Website seized by Government today (2/19)

you say that, but it looks to me like all of the postings have been hidden or deleted. Cite?

The website was merely defaced if it said it was seized.

What they have up:
Over the last year, our site has been under constant cyber attack. Attackers have phished users' data, rerouted DNS traffic, spoofed transactions, DDOS attacked our IP address, stolen ads from users, and more. The attacks have been relentless and sophisticated. The latest attack occurred 2/19/22, and the hackers wiped out our users' ads and images from our ad database.
To continue, we will need to perform an infrastructure overhaul and repair the damage. We do not have a timeline for completion, so we are recommending advertisers use a different website for now. We sincerely apologize for this turn of events.

That’s not a government seizure.

I suggest you stay vigilant. There are lots of attackers out there.

while it's not govt seizure, it could be govt hack.

regardless, that tells me that the IT folks employed and/or contracted by RubRatings left some large gaps in their system if the hackers could get in and edit their ad database.

i'm glad i'm not hiring those wanna be IT folks for my company!
