Is Mike Caveney's MC Magic Words website safe again?

Postby erdnasephile » January 23rd, 2016, 6:46 pm

Quick question please: Weeks ago (? last month), it was reported on GF that Mike Caveney's book website had been hacked with a redirect attack. (I didn't go to the website to confirm).

Does anyone know if it is safe again to order? I tried to email Mr. Caveney before going to the site, but the email I sent to his email address didn't go through.

It looks okay to me -- at least, the problem it had is gone. When it was hinky, if you went to the site it would load porn stuff instead of his normal site. Now, it seems to work properly, so I'd guess it is fine.

Mike had some "major surgery" done on it and (on January 1, 2016) he informed me it was OK.
