Now, the story takes a decidedly dark turn at this point. The site that leaked the images quickly found itself at the mercy of someone who took it upon themselves to hack the site and leave a message warning the site to stop leaking stuff. Strange but hacks are certainly not unheard of. This is where it gets really weird: the site just vanished like it never existed. The sites domain name is now for sale and if you go to the URL for Nerd Leaks you end up on the Go Daddy website. The sites twitter account has also been deleted, almost as if someone wanted to hide themselves. It goes deeper, too. The link to the site was also posted on the popular-yet-brutal N4G site by a user named Azog. That users account is no longer active on N4G. Theyve just gone. Poof in the wind.
Now, many have taken it to mean that Sony has flexed its muscles and has digitally murdered Nerd Leaks for leaking what is supposed to be a secret project that the world isnt supposed to know about. We can categorically tell you now that is not true. There have been hundreds of leaks in the past (weve been at the start of some of them, sorry, Sony!) and this has not, at least not in our memories, happened before. Its all the more likely that the site owner got spooked by the initial hack and decided to up-and-run. Still, bloody weird, innit?
