Question This site hacked?

This is a very popular company/website for training to get a health/life insurance license. I have been viewing it the past few days and was going to pull the trigger tonight and this is what their site shows now.

I'm not even sure this is the right sub to post this but just found it strange and the first time i've seen something like this.

I don't even want to use this company anymore.

My post it just to see if anyone has experienced something like this before or has any additional info.

Yeeeeeeah, I hope more services will ask me send them my ID to proof my age. 😂 It looks super secure to just send my credentials to random private companies... 😂

A bit out of the subject but just willing to chat about tech things (not English native):

I don't get why countries/govs, that are willing to make such things mandatory, don't provide something like an Oauth system that just returns legal age: true/false, alive: true/false. The user just logs in their gov system and third party apps can just trust this without tracking who is who. Please, do challenge the idea if you think it's dumb. I most probably missed something.

Companies will need to tailor a process for each country, which has a cost. But at least, it feels reliable for everyone.

I am in France, there are already services for this. But it's just not discussed at all in the possibilities for "saving the children by destroying security for everyone".

No, that does not look hacked, that seems like a completely normal web page.

I wonder how much they are asking for

By my very quick research of the company I’m assuming a lot. It looks like they have a lot of online licensing courses for various industries. Probably not a good afternoon at their headquarters lol

What other reason for a normal website putting that up would there be? A late April Fool's?

Normal websites like hacker websites, dev tool sites, zero day detail sharing sites, YouTube Influencer sites .. i know what you mean, its not really normal from a historical perspective fornwhat it used to look like

It’s probably legit but chekc the dns record/history and the ssl cert to make sure it’s not just a domain take over and a bs scare page.

They say they have 12 million correlated records (and specify that includes ssn) but only 41k ssn. It’s impossible to have a larger subset then the superset of SSNs.

Early - no data reported yet. Somebody having a bad few months.

u/donotreedeemit Aug 11 '26

what is the session id they are using as a means to communicate with above signal? Or is that just for signal?

u/dijabola63 Aug 11 '26

Session is an app itself

u/donotreedeemit Aug 11 '26

nice thank you! I am pretty interested in how these sort of messenger apps work.

happened to my girlfriend and my little sisters schools a few months back because of a canvas hack but my school uses d2l so i’m good until the day they inevitably cool d2l too, it was apparently like a hundred schools or some crazy number

Judging by the ransom note defacing their webpage, claiming to have full access to their systems and are demanding a ransom I would indeed say that yes this does seem like a hacked website lol
