Oh the irony: Driscoll's website has been hacked

Yesterday, Richard Driscoll's Blade Hunter website at www.bhmovie.club disappeared. No 404 error; just a plain white screen.

Speculation began as to whether the legal gorillas at Warner Brothers had issued him with a cease and desist notice (as they most assuredly will). But if that was the case, why were his Facebook page and Twitter account still active.

But no, it seems that Driscoll's site has been hacked by some evil sorts. Here is the message that currently appears there. A quick google has turned up a few other sites with similar messages.

This is priceless. It couldn't happen to a nicer fellow. I wonder what he'll do.

  1. Warners will take Driscoll for every penny he's got. All five of them.
