Hi everyone,

Just a heads up. The title says it all with the exception that everyone is 90% certain it is a hack, there is small chance this is unintentional but wont know more til later. If I learn more I will post it here. Getting pinged on twitter about it so thought I would make a public post somewhere. Cheers

I ran it through Google, site came up. This is the top post: http://wikipediawehaveaproblem.com/2018 ... t-the-ftn/

I tried to access the site through DuckDuckGo, no dice. It works through Yahoo!'s search engine.

Hmm, this is really bizarre. I ran the title on Duck Duck Go and this came up:

But clicking on the top result simply takes you back to DDG's top page. Never seen that before.
