     |  Photobucket Hacked?
Hmmm.. noticed photobucket links no longer loaded here... went to photobucket.com to see what was going on and saw this: Quote:
IMPORTANT! Photobucket.com problem read here:
Last night Photobucket.com DNS at register.com was hacked by malicious people that are trying to compromise our business!
We are in no way affiliated with such bad deeds and cooperate with photobucket in capturing these individuals.
They have pointed the domain photobucket.com to an account hosted on our systems!
We have blocked that and photobucked techs have restored the domain pointing to its original location!
ALL account information and pictures on photobucket.com are OK, please have patience!
Unfortunately the complete DNS replication usually takes 24-48 hours and during this time caches DNS records might still point to us!
The normal operation of Photobucket is restored and as soon as the replication is complete there should be no further such issues!
We would like to emphasize that we are in now way responsible for what happens with photobucket and all users bumping across our systems!
We are a legitimate web hosting company operating since 2003 and in no way tolerate such hacking attempts!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to

Gee, Matt; the body of that response/explanation you post doesn't seem at all like it comes from the higher-ups at photobucket. It's crudely written. Sounds almost like it was penned by a teenager. With all those exclamation points, it almost looks like it was concocted by a high-school sophomore.
Anyways, it's a big problem.
Is it time to change photo managers?

Is it time to change photo managers? | Don't know if "concocted" by a "high-school" sophomore...but something very certainly went sideways over there yesterday.
Expect PB management/owners have way to much invested to let users down much in future...
5,486,585,556 (That's billions of images) as of moment ago...
Translates to quite an army of pissed off users if they can't fix problem. | |

A couple weeks ago, photobucket was having everybody change their passwords when they logged in saying there was some kind of compromise. _________ Got Questions? Need Answers?
