Massive's Facebook account has been hacked and is gone. New website.

[Massive Lee]

Hi everybody.

As we all know, sometimes shit happens. But sometimes it also happens very hard and by the buckets...

Woke up one morning last week and received a message from Facebook explaining that because I have posted stuff that were not «acceptable» (porn, weapons, drugs, controlled substances etc), my accounts were suspended... What? That was done during the night while I was sleeping, it is clear I was hacked. Trying to contact FB to sort it out lead nowhere. Within 24 hours, my personal and work accounts have been totally suspended and all traces of life are now erased. A friend who's a cybersecurity experts explained that I was hacked, the bots posted shit all over the internet on my "behalf", then other bots reported that shit to Facebook. Which explains why my termination was so quick. That sucks, since Massive's website was taken down a few years back after a cyber attack on the server. Now Facebook...

I have been getting emails from peoples wondering what happened and worried I had died. Nop. Nothing like that.

So. After getting totally depressed for 24 hours, I reactivated my domain name, registered to a website host and learned how to become a web geek. I was an art director in advertising and designer in my previous life, so designing is not a problem. But I expect to spend 100 hours building a new website, especially that many precious pictures have been wiped out and I have to reshoot....

https://www.massivebrakes.com/

That is the same URL as before, and it is now active but the website is obviously just starting and I have to build it up from the ground. Writing texts and adding pictures. It will take weeks before it is complete.

I would appreciate if you could click on the link, so that Google can start building its search database.
Or let people asking about the now absent Facebook page, that Massive is still alive and well.

Thank you very much all

Lee

Link followed. Sorry for your trouble.

Welcome back and to be honest, navigating your stuff on Facebook image albums was a terrible end user experience

Yup, that sucks ... but as stated above, no business should operate on FB to sell shit. That is an abysmal experience. Good luck rebuilding man!

Bummer about the hack, what a PITA. But also, agree with the above, FB sucks.
New link bookmarked!

Sucks about the hack, hit up the website. For social media I'd say instagram is probably a better business model for your type of products which can be presented nicely with pictures etc.
