When I try to open the website, I'm presented with this screen
on further research it says that the 'test' is actually a form of scam
https://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-robotcaptcha6-info/
I was just wondering if this is only an issue I've encountered (ie the problem is something on my computer) or whether it is an issue that other people are having (ie the problem is with Now Dig This' servers), if the latter is the case, someone who has contacts should probably try and let the owner know.
Thanks!
It's supposedly to check I'm not a robot, but I would have thought that they would have used the far more well known and trusted 'Captcha' test (you know, the one where you have to click every square with a traffic light in it or type out a series of distorted letters and numbers)What's Up With The Now Dig This Website?

I get the same and it does look like a hacking. I've posted a message on the Facebook page.

Brilliant, thanks at least that means that I don't have any malware on my computer causing this, hopefully they can resolve the issue soon!

I did indeed report it to Trevor C as soon I spotted it. At the time he was not aware of the hacking.Gamma Master wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 6:36 pmI was just wondering if this is only an issue I've encountered (ie the problem is something on my computer) or whether it is an issue that other people are having (ie the problem is with Now Dig This' servers), if the latter is the case, someone who has contacts should probably try and let the owner know.

I also noted the issue on his ETMHM Facebook page.
Good news he fixed it without too much issue
Cheers
