    I'm not sure if anyone has seen this lately, but I just went to R&J Tech's site to see if I could configure a bare bones D900F and this Brazilian thing came up in place of R&J's web page not sure whats up, but it looks very sketchy I think R&J Tech's web site has been compromised.

    It seems like its just the home page(index), cause I am able to get to other pages I was visiting earlier and refresh them.

    Yes that's what it seems like, and I can browse their site fine with Googles cache, but man that stuff just looks very very sketchy.

    I'm guessing that now's not a good time to be entering your credit card information into their site...

    I wouldn't worry R&J is a legit company, they are just unlucky their website got hacked, it wont last for ever, and doubt it will affect you in any way unless you enter personal info.

    Well everything seems back to normal at R&J Tech's site, and they have the D900F up for bare bones pre-order.
