You're not wrong to be cautious and it's good to ask questions if you're concerned. But, in this case, it's almost certainly a joke (though I'll agree it is an odd one).
I think this because:
1.) I've tried this site with two browsers on different machines on different networks. Neither browser puts that particular security warning in markup on a compromised site.
2.) The site footer references the title. It isn't exactly an explanation, or rather, it isn't one that I understand. It may be an in-joke between friends.
Even in the unlikely event that this is an attack, it's unlikely to be dangerous to visitors.
I think this because it would be quite rare to find someone with the skill and dedication to own the site and attack visitors, yet who would still advertise his/her attack in progress.
- natch 8y agoYeah that's my take too... just seems a bit juvenile though for someone in the security community. Thanks for the reply.
- hluska 8y agoThanks for drawing attention to this! It can be hard to learn how to move your communication beyond your group of friends and into the masses. This is made more acute by the fact that you can never quite tell when you're about to blow up until you already have. That might actually be a good topic for a blog article.
