You're right, this smell SO fishy.

They've actually been back for weeks now, although I hadn't heard of this URL yet.

When they made their "comeback," they changed locations to: http://www.izonews.com

Yet visiting there right now, it does display the new URL in a pop-up ad so it seems legit.

**Fat_Mike** · 05-05-2003,11:35 AM

Sure, perhaps they're really back, but who really run them now?

**modchipman** · 05-05-2003,11:41 AM

Yeah very weird.. they don't "sell" the modchips anymore, but instead will be giving them away in a forum thread intended to virtually flame the us gov...

I wish em the best of luck.. but I wonder who is running the show now.

they also used www.stolemy.com after isonews.com was seized

this doesnt smell fishy.. they are pissed that the doj took their domain, so now they are giving away stuff to people that mock the doj
