I've been wondering the same thing all day. I tried translating the text on habbo.es but google translate can't manage it, it's all broken spanish by the looks of it.

[Kieran]

Looks like the domain has been taken judging from the nameservers being different to what they normally are :P They're lucky whoever has it hasn't decided to put keyloggers etc on the site.

[Bradley.]

yh same daltron! omg that's bad kieran, better scan my computer!!!! OMG jk lol

[Daltron]

Aw I am talking to heaps from their hotel now and they are so nice haha

[Absently]

i was wondering what was going on with habbo.es, i saw that there was a really popular room to do with it and was rly confused :P

[sex]

oh thats why there are loads on habbo.com today
wonder how it happened

[Yawn]

get that hit thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aiden]

thats not very good is it lol

[edible]

First time in my 8 or so years I remember a habbo domain being defaced and then suspended.

[DPS]

It's been hacked most Habbo.es people are on .com ;/

[Michael]

This site has been suspended.

Not something you'll see a lot. I do wonder what has happened, habbo.es is the biggest hotel i'm sure, I believe they also are partnered to another company antenna 3 or something?

Habbos.es a spanish fansite posted this (This is straight from google translate so it may not make sense)


Few minutes ago several users have reported that, on entering habbo.es , instead of loading the Habbo homepage featured a page completely unrelated to Sulake (as seen in the following image). By now we know that the domain still belongs legally to Sulake, with the difference that the nameservers have been changed, probably by someone with access to the management of that domain.

The nameservers are servers that handle instead tell us what points a domain when accessing it. In this way, our computer can translate into a IP address and request that IP website. In this case have been modified and now the domain habbo.es points to a server oblivious to Sulake.

To protect your Habbo account is important not to be fooled. If someone tells you that you can access from another direction do not listen until confirmed, since in this way could steal your password. It may also be that from the same page of Habbo Habbo is simulated that is when it really is not (yes, it sounds Machiavellian). In this case, never put your password unless the top green padlock appears indicating that the connection is secure and that you are effectively connecting with Sulake.
UPDATE (2:40) Habbo staff is already aware of that event. The Twitter account @ ESHabbo has posted a tweet with the following:

http://img.habbos.es/album/7/f74455d64732.png

UPDATE (15:00)
Habbo has confirmed that user data and furnis, profiles, plates, etc.. not have been affected, therefore, when all is solvent, your account will remain just as you left.

UPDATE (15:10)
When trying to access Habbo, we get a message like: This site has been suspended. therefore confirms that steps are being taken to get everything back to normal. UPDATE (16:40) ago habbo minutes declares us through their facebook page the following statement.

Wow such a popular hotel too, hopefully it gets resolved soon enough. :P

[Luke367]

Its problem simple to fix or they will just put them all on .com hotel (Be the worse thing ever if that does happen tho!)

[Peachiequeen]

Poor habbo.es. I feel bad for them! :(

[Mr-Trainor]

I wonder what exactly happened?

[iSherlock]

I can explain you with easy words what happened.

Imagine habbo.es is an aisolated city (when there are a lot more under the same country which is Sulake Oy) and another strange city situated nowhere to be found, no one even lives there.

Now imagine a random person, strong and clever enough to re-direct a path that leads to habbo.es city to our so called "phantom weird template website city (the one in the screenshot above)" and that's it.

People in the habbo.es city isn't affected, the city is intact, nothing has been stolen (I can tell because I just used a hosts file change to log in [adding this IP 66.132.225.8 habbo.es and 66.132.225.8 www.habbo.es]) and damn sure if users leave the city they won't find they way back; Just like 80% of the users who want to log in can not do so because the road has been changed and they are gonna land on the new city (the phantom city).

DNS redirection, a domain failure (or hacker hijacked), it was already fixed (according to Twitter) but the DNS are still beign disseminated so only 300 users are logged in, spain users mostly I think.

The hosts file changing allows, imagine a GPS machine beign told to continue straight away instead of taking the wrong appearant way haha, it's actually that easy ;)

habbo..com.br is biggest :P habbo.es is 2nd biggest

[xxMATTGxx]

Either they gained access to the account that managed the domain or some how convinced the company who dealt with the .es domain that they wanted the nameservers changing. (I assume that's what happened) I mean we all know what happened to Habbox.com with namecheap.

[Pigperson]

Omg that is shocking. I loved Habbo.es as a secondary hotel because I could practice my Spanish. It's surprising that a site like Habbo can get hacked like this.

[Plutonioo]

All the spanish users are actually in HabboCOM being very annoying, spamming, and some of them even trying to steal accounts by making fake videos where "you can" log in the hotel.

As spanish, I feel totally embarrased for seeing people from my country and my language doing things like that.

[Luke367]

I hope they get it back Monday! Welcome lounge is soo dum with them! If we spammed in their we got muted! These getting around with too much on our hotel!

[iSherlock]

Didn't you guys read me? geez...

It has been fixed by now ;) check the online users: 4,135 Habbos conectados

[Daltron]

Everyone shouldn't be so harsh. If .com stopped for a lengthy period of time I am sure a lot of us would go chill on another hotel thus making them feel the same way.

I completely agree. I liked them being on .com, just wish there would be a little less screaming Spanish curses, and more conversation between .com and .es. Habbo should've made an event out of the whole mishap or something and made .es feel more welcome. I think it was cool, anyway. I just don't know why we have to discriminate so much. idk. Every time .com is acting up for me, I ALWAYS go on .es or .com.br so, idk why they shouldn't feel welcome here. I mean we don't have enough people on our hotel as it is, it can't hurt having some extra people on for a few days? People who may decide to come back. Idk. And anyway, am I really the only one who finds it invigorating to try to communicate with someone from a different part of the world with a different culture and language? Whenever I see someone speaking Spanish or Portuguese or French or Italian, I always try to converse, even if we are both using google translate. Maybe it is just me, but I feel like I learned something, and accomplished something every time I have a conversation in another language.
