I've seen some fake update required messages when switching between pages, I got logged out, and when I go to the main page it redirects me to some other page with a ww9.forums.jetcareers.com address.
Nah, it's not hacked.
Technically I screwed up the nameserver designation so the wrong IP has been propagating around. However the correction, even with some tweaks, is taking it's time to propagate around to the world's DNS.
Completely mea culpa. No copilot to blame this on.
The IP is 104.238.84.94 for the server whereas instead of using "jettester.com." as the DNS, I typed "jettester.net." which unleashed worldwide molten hell and was responsible for sending requests to 77.-something else.
Whenever you have a semi-popular domain, there are people that buy all sorts of iterations of similar domain names to capture some traffic to sell services, products and whatever. You might have to flush your DNS cache on your browser. Plus, most people that control DNS policy don't even understand DNS themselves so there's going to be some slow DNS servers that haven't gotten the change, even though my TTL is sub-500.
Sorry. I know it was a pain in the ass for you guys and believe me, it was a pain in the ass for me too!
So I'm clearly no expert, but why does it work just fine through Chrome on my phone but not safari?
The IT version of "Wait...what's it doing now?"
Just in case you're not aware, there are services like dnsmadeeasy which not only provide redundancy, but also allow you to change IPs almost instantaneously, preventing situations like this.
Think of your DNS cache like a Rolodex .
