I wonder if some of the photobucket.com servers have been attacked or if there has been a major issue within the company?
If I log on to
www.photobucket.com I get the message everyone has described, but using my normal my log:
www.s978.photobucket.com functions as normal.
There is a vast amount of noise on the web about the $399 raid, but Nothing in the way of a formal announcement from Photobucket, other than the "we have noticed" statement received by many.
Normal business practice, even in the wild west of the web, is for the sort of changes Photobucket has made to be associated with a formal statement. If Photobucket Inc is a us public company then any action by the company that is likely to have a significant impact on shareholder value.
Photobucket is a private company, so such announcements are not mandatory, but normally there is some sort of formal public statement.
It is all very odd.
