Our account was hacked.

[Nordica]

Apparently someone got ahold of our password and posted some immature content in the forums and sent out malicious messages using the Nordica account yesterday.

I want to take the time to apologize for someone else's stupidity. It bums me out to see that a random member of the NS community went out of their way to make us look bad and targeted other users using our identity.

Huge thanks to the NS mods for catching this and bringing it to my attention; also for getting the situation under control and deleting this persons attempt to slander Nordica. Another reason why NS is such an amazing site.

If anyone was hassled by our username in the past 24 hours please shoot me a PM and ill be sure to hook you up with a sticker pack or some swag. I want to make this right.

Thanks,

- Evan Williams

[PsychedelicMoose]

[DeRizzo]

Doing this as we speak! Ill be sending messages to everyone within the hour.

 

[werd.]

I wish I was hassled

 

[caderobinson]

[7springsprod]

Despite all of the bandwagoneers, I still love Nordica.

 

[DeRizzo]

I apologize for my stupidity.

 

[Mr.Sloth]

I wish I was a victim.... bitches love victims

 

[Nordica]

Shoot me a PM with your address. This bad situation calls for some free sticker packs for the NS community.

Anyone who's interested in some stickers, send me a PM!

 

[mattytru]

smart man

 

[jibbpeter]

That's a really sad thing to do... Someone is really fucked up.

Kudos to you Evan for giving out freebies even when you don't have to!

 

[CaptainObvious.]

Did you even read the OP you fucking moron?

Big ups Nordica. Way to tackle this thing quickly and appropriately.

 

[werd.]

If you're not trolling, I would seriously consider anger management.

 

[jibbpeter]

Checkmate.

Or "GG"

 

[werd.]

I gave him my real number and he never even called hahahaha. I was a little upset I didn't get to text bomb him

 

[M.M]

and this is why i love and support nordica, pm'd

 

[Balto]

 

[M.M]

sorry for dub, this is what i meant to quote, and once again, this is why i love and support nordica, pm'd

 

[No.Quarter]

what did they do exactly? I didn't even notice any forum shenanigans. Is there any way to find out who did it? what kind of legal stuff could whoever did this get into since they "hacked" a business' account?

I always though of Nordica as a core racing big brand company. This "backing your shit up" and not "hoping no one noticed" gives you guys some serious awesomeness

 

[dvx100]

but but but...i wanted stickers anyway

 

[altadonkeys]

This is what I thought haha. Way to go nordica. I appreciate your presence on newschoolers.com

[Zimmy]

Who's the stupid one here?

 

[homestar]

I thought it was pretty funny anyway. It was obvious that these weren't the opinions of the company.

 

[SPENSWORD]

so smart! just post your address's on here so the whole community can send you stickers!!!!

.... i would advise against this....

 

[Turkelton]

Can't you do an IP track to find out who did it? If Mousseau can see I downvoted the Rogge interview then they can find who did it

 

[wynnyk]

shit i thought that was a PM

 

[AaronO.]

Now everyone can see your address...

 

[shr@gler]

No, But you can have some pizza!

 

[polmei]

Your smoking to much reefer kid, that stuff sort of start happening when u smoke alot of reefer....

 

[wynnyk]

mods plz delete the post with the address, thx.

in the meantime you guys can send me all the pizza and reefer that your hearts desire.

 

[Brule.]

Just sent my PM for the stickers.

 

[TheBayArea]

 

[JAHBRADOR]

Waw, when did skiing become so serious?

 

[future-spins]

 

[.frenchy]

that kid messaged me hate PM's as well, I was loling.

And so did Nordica so yayyyy

 

[whoa-dere]

the whole thing is a publicity stunt alksdjfa;lskdgal;skdgaswlkdfnas

 

[FreezerKid]

if it was a publicity stunt dont u think they could have come up with something a little better/ more imaginative

 

[Karkoskier]

PMing away!

 

[DENIM_CHICKEN]

He posted that weird gay bondage gif on one of the threads..that was fucked up

I would be more stoked on nordica ifv that was actually a drunk employee

 

[VerticalDrop]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand this is why we push Nordica in the shop. Good dudes, great brand, awesome product. And one of the hardest hitting brands on NS as far as reaching out to the community. Good stuff right here

 

[tallteesteeze]

mad props for this! Nordica comin through

 

[Nordica]

Holy smokes! People love stickers!



Ill try and get back to all of you this week. Lots of stickers to ship out. Thanks to everyone for being understanding about the situation.

And to those who think we did this ourselves... What company in their right mind would post smut all over the forums and personally attack their consumers/fans and NS admins via PM? Can someone post the definition of marketing? Call me crazy, but my guess is that slander/defamation of your own company isn't a good strategy... Total facepalm.

Believe me, there are many other things id like to be doing right now while I'm on vacation than clean up this hackers mess.

 

[Bombogenesis]

Sack up and get the fuck over it. It wasn't their fault, christ you are a pussy.

Sorry I had to go skiierman there but holy shit.

 

[Jibberino]

I really, really hope you're joking. And if you are, you're bad at it.
