defcad and defense distributed seized

[jryotas]

Both websites show a seized by US gov page . Hopefully it is just an April Fools .

I didn't think the Govt did such obvious things...... Shut the site down, sure, but post up a message w/ allegations?!?!? If you happen to have an old URL in your cache, try to go to it and see if you can bypass the default page.

Not surprising.

It is april 1. why would any of you believe anything today?

This does not prove it is an April Fools joke and if it does end up being one , I think it is of poor taste and does not really help his goal .

The picture meta data says that it was edited with photoshop 7.0 on April 1st @ 12:08am. And it is hosted by photobucket.

On the sites own registrar (godaddy) the whois does not list the government ownership.

An example of a government owned domain:

Notice the SEIZEDSERVERS.COM DNS for a real seized site.

Inspect for yourself. I am 100% sure this is a fake now.

I do agree that it is in poor taste, but DHS would not have left their other site up.
