It looks like there was a DNS hijacking/redirect of some kind at the DNS host this website uses. I am investigating...

I was unable to access the website for over an hour (maybe two) and it did look like it was being redirected. I kept getting a string of numbers after the http, with a slash to objectivismonline .net. Something like this: http://223.345.43.556.77/objectivismonline.net and then it would tell me that the action was canceled.

I hope I am not getting involved in a thread that I am not supposed to be posting in, but I came across an article about a basic problem with the Internet protocols that could lead to all sorts of hijackings and Internet data stealing.

It's at: http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/08/r...led-the-in.html

I once had my computer hacked into, or possibly downloaded and installed a program that made it possible for those evil people to record everything I was doing on my computer, so this is a real problem of personal security and privacy. Once I suspected my computer was being compromised, I designed a series of tests to see if they were really able to "read" everything I was doing on my computer. I found out that they were able to do this. So, be careful not to download suspicious programs or to give someone permission to watch over what you are doing, for any reason, even if it seems legitimate at the time. In my case, I was drawn into agreeing that a girl I thought I loved could have a chaperon, no matter how I contacted her. In hindsight, this was really, really stupid; because it gave them an excuse to violate my privacy.

Be careful out there <_<
