Fnatic’s Official Website – Fnatic.com Hacked [UPDATED]

Fnatic.com, the official website of fnatic organisation has been Hacked. This happened a few hours ago, when it was taken over by someone named NVRBLND, rendering the website useless.This is not the first time their website has been hacked, last year also same thing happened when their content was replaced by porno images.

Gaming websites have been facing such attacks in the past, which resulted in hacking of sk-gaming and MeetYourMakers as well some months ago. If you try and visit the fnatic website, this is what you will see -

It doesn’t look like a DNS attack, instead the website has been completely overtaken by the hackers. You can try to open the website using Pagewash.

A preview of Facebook Fan Page :

The news has been officially confirmed by fnatic organisation through their Facebook Fan Page, and have assured their users that user data has not been compromised! It is worth mentioning here that some user data was deleted from fnatic.com when it was attacked by hackers last year.

We are waiting for more official words from fnatic, and will keep you updated with it.

UPDATE

NVRBLND or, neverbland.com is the website of London based Web-Design Studio – EVISUA, that has designed website for fnatic as well as ugame (which also had similar image put up on their website).

EVISUA is now in the process to completely upgrade fnatic.com, and for this purpose, they had the image put up on the website. Though the upgrade was scheduled in 2009, but they failed to make it happen due to some reasons.

Now, fnatic.com front page has been updated, titled as – “Gotcha! New Fnatic.com about to drop!”, along with a video captioned “Sam Rolled“, dancing and laughing, suggesting that it was a prank they played on people!
