Me too. Here's the result of nmap -p 443 --script ssl-cert weighoff.net: Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-03-31 17:24 CEST Nmap scan report for weighoff.net (213.175.208.197) Host is up (0.056s latency). rDNS record for 213.175.208.197: charlie.awebserver.co.uk PORT STATE SERVICE 443/tcp open https | ssl-cert: Subject: commonName=arrowloans.co.uk | Subject Alternative Name: DNS:arrowloans.co.uk, DNS:cp…

I got the Bad SSL Cert warning in Firefox and just backed out.

Chrome is flagging your SSL cert as being invalid, just an FYI.

That's because it's forwarding the traffic to some entirely unrelated website for some reason. Not sure if the DNS went screwy, but something is not right.

Think the guy got hacked mid launch.

> 1000 tons of bricks This option was strange, because all other options don't compare concrete weigh but weight of objects.

Ahh, it's joke data: { name: "a ton of bricks", plural: "tons of bricks", frequency: 0.01, weighWord: "weighs", min_mass_kg: 1000, max_mass_kg: 1000 }, { name: "a ton of feathers", plural: "tons of feathers", frequency: 0.01, weighWord: "weighs", min_mass_kg: 1000, max_mass_kg: 1000 },

:)

Nitpicking: I use 1 ton = 1000 Kg, but world wide it's more complicated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton

That's definitely heavier than 1000 tons of gorillas!

1000 tons is definitely heavier than 1000 kg.

Aww man, really sorry. Not my doing. Trying to sort it out. My hosting account's been suspended. It's all gone a bit pear shaped. Oopsie.

When you get some time to breathe, I would love to hear a "retrospective" about how an account suspension turned into a redirect to a loans website. Did a bad actor notice your account was suspended, took over it somehow and then they sent traffic to their website? Is this standard protocol for your hosting provider (similar to those domain landing pages which link to all sorts of weird crap)?
