Re: Hack or Social Engineering?

Of course it was routine maintenance. That is the usual message that is put up, correct?

I also like how someone was told "the internet is down".

Re: Hack or Social Engineering?

Could be that since most if not all maint. to a site/servers/etc. is performed at night, the employees were caught off guard like everyone else. They probably thought it was routine maint. and passed along the message.

Let's leave the black helicopters on the ground for now...
