    Would appear to function with http://www….but that still ain’t right.

    Oh no there’s a bug on their website.

    Sooo… what’s the point?

    Good Grief. Seven trackers, no https, no certificate. I’m almost afraid to ask if these clowns are hiring…

    Or were you talking about the screen capture: Bluetooth Off (good), Location Services On (bad)?

      It’s a cyber security website, that’s actively being DDoS’d. Irony.

      • Mike Nomad says:

        Given the site’s focus, DDOS attacks should be expected. And successfully handling a DDOS attack is fairly tricky.

        The error shown on the screen shot does not necessarily indicate a DDOS attack. That kind of an error could mean their site got hacked, or they were having firewall problems after they tried to tweak it. Given that I can get to the site without any problems, repeatedly, it looks like the latter. Quite possibly, as part of dealing with a DDOS attack.

        I guess my Irony Stack is not compiling properly this AM…

          Sorry, I grammar Not Have Way. My going to their site repeatedly was not part of a DDOS attack…

          That’s not a DDOS, it’s redirecting your browser to God knows where, where it will do God knows what to your machine.

    And most DDoS attacks are fairly easy to avoid with decent hosting and security like CloudFlare, something a security-focused conference should definitely have.

    But a redirect loop isn’t a typical symptom of a DDoS.
