When I went to check some prices today at Pleiades website, and clicked on the 'online shopping' link, I received a warning that the security certificate was registered to another company.
Sure enough, the link took me to an unrelated site, which was posing as Pleiades (using the title 'Citroenyeah-hydraulics.com').
It doesn't appear to be actively malicious, but a warning just in case...
Pleiades site hacked?

Re: Pleiades site hacked?
I'm not sure but I heard that Pleiades were winding down their business and ceasing trading some time ago. It would make sense that another company would then buy business off them, including the website (or at least link to it) so maybe this explains it?dnsey wrote:When I went to check some prices today at Pleiades website, and clicked on the 'online shopping' link, I received a warning that the security certificate was registered to another company.

Mr Pleiades has recently joined the forum. This is what he had to say about the website.
http://www.frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/v ... hp?t=23863Finally, I have read a message here about the Pleiades web site being hacked, We had to disable the on-line shopping cart as people kept ordering the wrong part for their car and this caused problems, this forced us to disable the cart. I am hoping to get it sorted soon into an enquiry cart, then we can check the order and ensure that the correct part is sent out to our customer. Or even better, a new web site that I can maintain myself, but as a computor thiko this may prove difficult. In the meantime it seems to dissapear into some kind of search portal and ends up suggesting web sites that sell tractor pumps?
