Cheers,

That's what I got, until I entered the catalog url, which flashed the warning, but I hit ok and was fine after that.

Here's the mailing from Chaosium regarding the website:

Chaosium.com Catalog back online

Here's a quick update to let you know our catalog is back online.

https://catalog.chaosium.com/

Our website was hacked on April 20th by an email spammer, forcing us to shut down the site to exorcise the spam demons sent against us. Now is a good time to remind all of you that your credit card information was never in danger. Third party verification sites Paypal and Authorize.net handle all of the credit card transactions for our website, and our security certificate offers 256-bit encryption. Hence, your credit card information was never at risk during the attack on us.

Because our server was attacked by spammers, some of our outgoing emails are being blocked by various ISP's. If you've been expecting an email from us our replies to you might be bouncing. With a little patience, this too shall pass. Meanwhile, if you have been trying to reach us about an order please contact fergie@chaosium.com.

We should have our news & propaganda site working again in the next day or so.
