Reported this post as it seems out of character and a bit odd... Perhaps hacked?

Ah, ignore paranoid old me, Snappy is warning about the Westfield site - apologies.

Tin foil hat back on...

Hi All,

We (The Committee) obviously take any mention of Member's accounts being tampered with extremely seriously as well as any negative information about WSC Ltd. In this instance, I hid this post this morning whilst we did some background digging which was in my opinion the right thing to do at the time.

The result is that the OP is correct, the WSC Ltd website was and is in a bit of a state to say the least, especially the shop. I have spoken to Simon at WSC Ltd this morning and he tells me it is being dealt with as I type this and may take a couple of days to sort. Further, measures are afoot to change things for the better (performance and security) in the coming months.

Thank you Mike, for raising the issue with the WSC Ltd website and thank you John, for highlighting the potential tampering of a member account. Please do continue to highlight any future website issues directly to WSC Ltd and if you feel you are not getting an adequate response, let me know.

When you say "here" are you talking WSCC or WSC Ltd?

All seems normal to me at the minute...

If someone hacks into a web server, they can do all sorts, like hijacking links and forwarding particular page requests to other 'dubious' sites - all without the owner being aware. By knowing what the owner's IP address is - info found from server logs, or by only directing traffic that came via Google - they then send visitors to the porn sites etc. and the owner is blissfully unaware of anything until someone points it out or they get blacklisted!

I have had the same issue on Android.

Occasionally, if I Google WSCC and click the forum link, I am diverted to a "Google, you've won a prize" page.

Always click off immediately and second search always seems to work fine.
