Amazon Hacked?

Works fine from here. More likely someone screwed up a master DNS update than anything else.

Could be, but appears to be intentional - there is a 'redirect' page that appears for a few seconds - it says something about Amazon no longer being in existance - then it redirects to biblenet.net. The 'redirect' screen seemed very amateur night.

Thanks for checking!

Works for me....Try this. Hit Start->Run-> type CMD

Once in your command window, type this:
ipconfig /flushdns

Could be your box.....

Didn't help. I grabbed the URL I get redirected to, though:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html

It displays for a second or two...

Then, I get pushed to biblenet.net.

For some reason, Amazon is redirecting me to their own "It ain't here" URL, and then THEY are pushing me to biblenet.net. Really!

Hey! Are they trying to tell me something?

That link works for me Bill. I suspect your computer is infected by pop-up virus but you're using Linux, not Windows, right?
 
Perhaps a message from a higher power?

I am apparently beyond savior as I was able to get into the amazon site without a problem.

Oh, could be the Mozilla/Firefox hack. It was made public today. I can't remember what it was only it was something about spoofing.

Sorry...I will look for it.
 
David,

Not a big deal, seems to have stopped now. Ever thang is back to normal. Huh. Who knows?

Okay, now that we've confirmed that your computer was temporarily redirected... you can tell your spouse that it was evil hackers who diverted your computer to eBay and bought all that RF gear! And you'd better not try to return it, or they might do something even worse...
