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

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:



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.

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!)

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

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.
