I know :))) But take into consideration that today is not the first of April. This event can also mean that the website was breached or that some admin just made a mistake


To be honest, it just makes more sense to use a image rather than a HTTP error return for the regular user to see and understand what is going on at the moment with said website.


Nothing preventing you from doing both.


Maybe they do not control the origin server, only the domain and it would be easier just to redirect everyone using DNS.


So the FBI controls the server to which the domain now points ...


Easier to just have all requests respond with exactly the same HTTP response, or something, based on the requested domain.


They are not so consistent with what image they use for seized domains but in some cases like this one they use the website's logo.


A website that sold/publish personal info mostly e-mail/username and password combos.


they never sold any information, they sold access to view leaked databases with information


the difference is that selling the information itself is technically illegal, but since these databases were leaked online you're only providing access to view them in a format which isn't necessarily illegal but governments can force their way to shutting them down. next best thing is for WLI or their next counterpart to just crop up a domain in Luxembourg.


That seems like a distinction without a difference.


Yes, because a CoC "limits" what and where should a contribution be made to a repo and what or where not.


Really? I've always thought a CoC was for treating people like human beings, instead of attacking them in the issues.


Are you saying you care and you like/want one or are you saying you care and would rather not have one?
