We’d have to say that there’s definitely some hackers out there that have that Loki mentality. Where their actions are all just a big joke, no matter the consequences. For example, if you’re a fan of NZXT, and you’re someone who gets their corporate newsletter, then you probably received a letter stating that the company was shutting their doors, saying that financial hardship was the cause. Truth be told, it’s a very well written letter, and we can see why so many folks out there truly believed NZXT was on the way out. But, it looks like that’s not the case at all.
Co-Founder and Product Manager at NZXT, Johnny Hou, sent out a letter today explaining the situation to its loyal customers. According to the letter, yesterday evening the NZXT site was infiltrated illegally, and those responsible basically went to town on the website. Not only did they send out the initial letter, but they also changed device warranty information, as well as deleted plenty of home page and product banners throughout the site. Hou also goes on to say that NZXT isn’t going out of business, and that they are looking forward to launching several highly anticipated products over the next couple of months.
It’s good to see NZXT isn’t heading out the door. We’ll be looking forward to seeing what those highly anticipated products are, and those of you out there that enjoy NZXT-branded things, we’re sure you are, too. Below, you’ll find both letters, the initial one from the hackers, as well as the official word from Hou himself. Go ahead and take a gander.
