Coastal Optics Site has been hacked !

[Andrea B.]

I just tried to look up some info about the CO60 and discovered that the Jenoptik site has been hacked. I got redirected to an online gambling casino. Sheesh!

 

The internet is soooo available I don't understand why anyone would need to hack someone else's site?

I know, I know -- I'm naive. Oh well.

 

Use cached link for Coastal for now: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:dZdpCSBy_twJ:www.jenoptik-inc.com/coastalopt-standard-lenses/uv-vis-nir-60mm-slr-lens-mainmenu-155/80-uv-vis-ir-60-mm-apo-macro.html+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

Maybe they know your proclivity towards breaking expensive gear and CO felt you were safer gambling. :D

Seems that if I paste Coastal Optics home page (http://www.jenoptik-inc.com/) directly into my browser it gets there fine, but the Google links take me to the casino link.

Also, once at Coastal Optics, their links seem to work fine, for example their standard lens page:

I wonder if they know about the hack? I'll call them later just to be sure.
