When trying to enter the official forum of the anti-virus developer Comodo, a redirect to the Instakilla hacker’s website is triggered, where he advertises his services

At the time of publication (September 29, 10:24 GMT), when trying to access the forum using the link https://forums.comodo.com/ redirect to the site instakilla.com was triggered.

A detailed report on the status of the forum is available on Virustotal .
Vendor Comodo is known for its free security solutions: the comprehensive antivirus Comodo Internet Security Premium and the Comodo Firewall. At one time, the developer was one of the leaders in the digital certification market, but in 2017 he sold his business SSL certificates .
Comodo has not yet commented on the situation. We will update the article as information becomes available.

Wow. The replies on this thread show that a lot of people here don't know how web hosting works.

I get how forums are a lower priority but a lot of users rely on it. There's also this question over there being a free version of the antivirus, firewall or internet security as everything links to paid on the main site at the moment. Anyway, that's another topic. Hopefully it'll be back up soon. It's been down all day.

Spell check tried to change 'Comodo' to 'Commode.'

This is a commode.

Anyway, I digress...

I didn't know about INSTAKILLA.

They provided a simple solution to my complex problem.

Thanks Commode........... er, uh, Comodo.

Although it is relatively easy for a hacker to bring down a Forum, Comodo's should be careful, because that does no good to any Company and less if it is a Security Company.

Commode owned. Trashed. Made to look ridiculous here.

It begs to question, were their servers hosted offsite by a third party? If so, then it could be understandable. If not? It looks even worse. It means they were not cautious. It means they were not diligent. They were asleep at the wheel. But then again, I never took Commode seriously (and never will).

Looks like they need @cruelsister to set up their firewall for them.

Cybersecurity giant Comodo can't even keep its own website secure | TechCrunch

Comodo, which bills itself as a "global leader in cybersecurity solutions," said its forum was hacked. The admission came in no less than a forum post,

techcrunch.com

Kind of a harsh headline for The Commode.

According to the disclosure, Comodo said the hackers stole usernames...

I think somebody stole the username "Burrito."

Because it's so popular and all...

The nerve of them people.

And the answer to all this is right in front of them.

Yes, that's right. The answer is INSTAKILLA.

INSTAKILLA can fix it.

"Technical support... simple solutions... malware removal..."

It's all there.

Thank goodness they arrived offering to help at The Commode's time of need.
