oddballstocks Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Anyone go to http://www.berkshirehathaway.com this morning? Seems that either their domain expired and a squatter got it or they were hacked. Either way I'm guessing someone is going to be getting a nice fat payday out of this one. Beware lots of popups, I will say though whoever did this targeted the ads nicely.
gfp Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Yeah, I noticed it wasn't working correctly yesterday either. Must be all that fancy programming and graphics bringing the servers to their knees
yp Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Yeah, I noticed it wasn't working correctly yesterday either. Must be all that fancy programming and graphics bringing the servers to their knees +1 haha that really must be it. :D all those fancy... links.
nkp007 Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Someone forgot to pay the bill. I guess a billion a month in cash flow to Berkshire wasn't enough ;D
Parsad Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 It happened yesterday. I thought they were just updating the site, and whoever their service provider is, had just put a temporary page up. The domain according to Whois is still owned by Berkshire: http://who.godaddy.com/whois.aspx?domain=berkshirehathaway.com&prog_id=GoDaddy I suspect it was a hack, not someone forgetting to renew the domain name. Probably some Republican techie who hates the Buffett Tax! ;D Cheers!
Parsad Posted June 19, 2012 Posted June 19, 2012 Not sure when it went back to normal, but the Berkshire site is working normal again. Cheers!
