I found a weird clone of Paizo's site?


Website Feedback


Out of curiosity, I did a google search for a character in a play-by-post I run. They have what I believed to be a unique name, so I wanted to see if Google found anything other than our game.

So I googled "Guthruc Shic'la", the name of the character in question, and found not only the gameplay thread, discussion thread, and the character's profile, but also what appeared to be a clone of the Paizo's site, though some links on the site failed to load. (Such as the store.)

I first found the site at " link redacted ". Attempts to find the home page by typing simply " link redacted " into the search bar failed to load, though I was able to find the home page by clicking where the Paizo golem is on the header on the actual site. (Invisible on the clone.)

So . . . I've no idea what this is, but after clicking around I decided to let you know about it, if you don't already.

Removed the links in this post in the event these end up being dangerous. I've forwarded the information up the chain. Thank you for letting us know!


I just tested it myself (in a VM for protection). If it helps, everything seems innocuous, where the worst is that they forgot to clone plenty of the images. The main suspicious thing is a GET request to counter.yadro.ru after loading any page.
