GSMARENA.COM hacked

[Henry89]

When you try to enter the site, it redirects you to the site "swag.org". Can you see it?

If you take a look: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/gsmarena.com

I'm not seeing that, but all I'm getting is

This webpage is not available

Windows 7, Chrome
:dontknow:

It's down for me, but I also don't get redirected.

Hope they're back up soon

Yup. Looks like GSMArena was hacked. Hopefully they have backups as they had literally millions of devices on their site...

Damn!! GSMarena.com hacked!! Everyday I'm entering this site.

What a freaking loser. Makes me want to punch him in the face as hard as I can. Stupid loser probably has no life other than hacking and ruining things. Hope he and all of those losers go to prison for a long, long time.

Archive.org's Wayback Machine has thousands of backups of gsmarena.com. I am going to try to donate to them soon.

Back up as of now I just checked.

Back up as of now I just checked.

Not for me. Could it be they hacked the DNS rather than the website itself? Either way, i read somewhere that the mobile site wasn't hacked. Perhaps you came there? I'd like to know the url of it.

This is working here:

http://www.gsmarena.com/

Chrome desktop from a Windows Vista lap top.

Like I said it's not working here on any of my devices.

How about clear the data from your chrome browser and retry if its a app do the same it maybe something you was viewing before that may carried to anything you look up so just clear data and see if you can access the site.

 

[dynomot]

I'm not doubting any one, just reporting it is OK for me, and ergo not hacked now.

May be a error in the way it was entered but cleared and redone should fix

I wish it didn't work for me, the temptation to click through and order a Note 4 600mins all you can eat text and data on "3" for £39 a month (2 year contract) was almost overwhelming !

It looks like GSMArena was down for a bit over the weekend, but the site seems to have recovered.

isitdownrightnow.com is a legit (as far as I'm aware) monitoring site that I've checked in the past, so no worries there.

Nothing to see here.
