Hackers! At some point last night hackers got the best of IndyPlanet. For those who don't know IP is where our online store is housed. The site has been down now for more than twelve hours and is being blocked by google as an attack site.
It seems hackers have been trying to put malicious software on IP and left the number #1 seller of indy comics fighting to get back online again. This attack took out "Ka-blam" their printing site and "Comicsmonkey" their distribution site set up for comic brick and mortar comic stores to order titles sold through them.
This sucks extra hard because it's comic-con season and they've been working hard to get various people's books out to them in time for the cons. The good thing is I don't think this is affecting their actual printing, just their site.
But stay tuned for more information. Hopefully we will be back up and running soon. We have a back up store at ComiXpress but it has yet to go online.
