Photo Bucket

Is it no longer a website? Myself and one of my colleagues at work tried to go there and we get some weird page that ISNT photobucket.

Anyone else getting this?

Nope, I was just able to go on.

Maybe their server went down for a bit?

Mine redirects me here:

I wonder if this a restriction my work put on? No cuz then it would say RESTRICTED WEBSITE

I got in just now, too, Jen- hopefully they didn't restrict it, too- that would be TERRIBLE

I just checked as well, and it went to the normal photobucket page.

I am not sure why it is re-directing you. Could a virus do that?

I doubt it because my coworkers cant get in either.. Weird.....

I think it's part of your internal corporate Internet security.

I can get into dogforums at work, but any photos hosted on Photobucket (including my own) appear as the little red x's.

It brings me to that site I posted and when I went there it said someone hacked their website server and was directing photobucket.com to go to their site and they arent affiliated with photo bucket. So it should be changed by now but my work computer is probably pulling through the old server. I'll check at home.

This is what it said.

IMPORTANT! Photobucket.com problem read here:
Last night Photobucket.com DNS at register.com was hacked by malicious people that are trying to compromise our business!
We are in no way affiliated with such bad deeds and cooperate with photobucket in capturing these individuals.
They have pointed the domain photobucket.com to an account hosted on our systems!
We have blocked that and photobucked techs have restored the domain pointing to its original location!
ALL account information and pictures on photobucket.com are OK, please have patience!
Unfortunately the complete DNS replication usually takes 24-48 hours and during this time caches DNS records might still point to us!
The normal operation of Photobucket is restored and as soon as the replication is complete there should be no further such issues!
We would like to emphasize that we are in now way responsible for what happens with photobucket and all users bumping across our systems!
We are a legitimate web hosting company operating since 2003 and in no way tolerate such hacking attempts!
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us at abuse@zettahost.com!
Thanks for your patience and understanding!
