Alexander Arms website hacked - DirectDrive - 08-06-2013
I saw on another forum that the AA website was hacked.
I went there, and sure enough it's hacked.
Some Islamist that has issues with a Dutch politician.
I don't think I picked anything up but I didn't open anything either. (there are hot links and a video)
Hopefully he gets nuked in short order.

My best advice is to avoid going to gawk. Who knows what malware was included as a special surprise.

I can confirm it was done, and am presently going to run malware bytes. lol
Edit: I can't swear I got it there...but there is at least one infected item and the scan isn't done yet...so in the abundance of caution...I too recommend giving it a miss.

Just received two emails from AA stating that my order has been placed but may be on back order. Only problem is, I haven't placed any order......
Anyone else getting emails like this from AA?

Me too. I also got phone calls and they have my Beowulf ammo I ordered in May but canceled because I bought hundreds of rounds elsewhere. i told her that and she sounded pissed. Bahhaha, back at them....
Then I got all the notification on my other orders and tried to call but got the message. I think they finally turned there computers on and decided to ship some stuff.
They finally got my Beowulf Shirt in the mail I ordered in May too. Man the BO on cotton is a demanding thing too from AA. Must be all the rain killing the cotton trees.

Order date 1-12-13. 1st update 8-23-13, and that was apparently a mistake. What is this "normal" of which they speak?
