That ad was planned before we were hacked, the timing was a total coincidence.
Michael is out in Davos, Switzerland right now — he isn't masterminding an opportunistic ad campaign.
- aresant 17y agoDang, on purpose would have been more fun.
- jona 17y agoi hope this doesn't mean you have to keep that welcome ad page up as a matter of principle going forward.
- seldo 17y agoAs long as you're here, do you have any details on the hack? Your only post about the attacks seems to be this one: http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/26/techcrunch-hacked/ http://www.techcrunch.com/2010/01/26/techcrunch-hacked/ Which hasn't been updated with details as promised. The lack of details here and the fact that you got hacked again makes it look either like you don't know how he got in, or that there were multiple vulnerabilities.

- icey 17y agoI gotta tell you, that interstitial is pretty poorly implemented anyways (was?). Any time I try to visit a link to TC now, the interstitial comes up and then sends me to the front page. I'm not going to dig through to figure out where the actual content lives. Although, I've already dealt with the ads, so maybe it doesn't really matter.
