Devuan.org Now Points To 'Pwned' Page With Gopher URLs (devuan.org)
"DEVUAN.ORG HAS BEEN PWNED" reads a new message at the home page for Devuan (a fork of Debian without systemd) -- which re-redirects to a new page named pwned.html, reports Slashdot reader DevNull127:
In all capital letters, its carefully-indented message (complete with an ascii-art logo) now informs visitors that "the web sucks -- JavaScript sucks -- browsers suck." Posting the URLs to several gopher sites, it adds that "Gopher is the way -- gopher is the future."
"Kiss port 80 goodbye. Join the revolution on port 70."
The attackers identify themselves as "Green Hat Hackers," a term generally understood to mean ambitious newbie hackers who want to improve their skills. "Stop the madness," continues their message, which appeared just hours before the first day of April.
"Get yourself a gopher client."

Good joke. Some work was done...
... not wrong, y'know?
"The web sucks -- JavaScript sucks -- browsers suck"
I agree.
It just keeps getting worse!
I'd have no problem with news editors deliberately posting that shit to get written warnings. It's a god damn scourge on the internet.
Looks like I'm getting some extra work done today.
Time to close the browser for near 48 hours (time zones drag this garbage out longer)
....when you realize that you prefer the Gopher version to the average modern website design. I hope they keep it past the 1st of April. It makes me feel younger.
