What's happened to Makarov.com? Has the site been hijacked?

Checked again at about 7:30 p.m. PDT and it's back on line. Guess they were just hacked for sport by some jabo named odin... onan is more like it. <G>

Well sort of, I don't know of they're targeting certain sites or what but I've had the same problem - type in URL end-up on some advertising site! Try this http://makarovpistol.com/ it's their mirror site.

BTW I placed my first order with them this weekend, we'll see how it goes!

Karl's the man. Lots of good products and a very helpful and friendly guy, to boot. Ordered a Pearce grip several years ago, and then some new recoil springs a few months ago. Always a pleasure.

Looks like this 'Odin' character is part of a hacker outfit called 'Pinchadores.' Besides 'Odin' there were references to '#PinchadoresWeb' and 'Brasnet'. A quick Google search on '#Pinchadores Web brasnet' seems to indicate that it's a group of Brazillian hackers. Looks like they hang out in the '#PinchadoresWeb' IRC channel on irc.brasnet.org. Lots of search results coming back in Portuguese with variations on '#Pinchadores Web ownZ y0 b0x!' and variations thereof.
