Comment on Respected Swiss Journal Hijacked by Unknown Criminals by bencomp

The impostor website has a “typo” in the URL in the notification about that URL not being the official website of the journal. Hadn’t I been warned before looking at the site, I would have been confused by that statement (assuming I had seen it; it isn’t that clear).

I’m by no means qualified to give reliable judicial advice, but I’d say:
A court may probably order the host to take down the website for trademark infringement and support of criminal activities. The host appears to be iPage/Fastdomain:
Registrar: FastDomain Inc.
Provider Name….: iPage Inc.
Provider Whois…: whois.fastdomain.com
Provider Homepage: http://www.ipage.com/
Domain Name: ARCHIVEOFSCIENCE.COM

Or in this case, one could claim that the notice is invisible, incomplete and incorrect (due to the typos). I’d say the owners are not complying with the court order, showing their malicious intentions.
