That’s probably all they mean. Previously, it would’ve taken you to a black hole on the Internet. Now, at least it goes somewhere, which means they got the hosting and DNS sorted. They’re probably busily engaged in figuring out how to get their Amazon-hosted stuff migrated over to whatever Russia gave ‘em to work with.

I saw an article saying they were being hosted by EPIK yesterday. Now I’m seeing this Russia thing, so looking into it, what I can find on my own is this:

Their DNS is being hosted by EPIK.

EPIK is a Washington State provider that is notorious for hosting, and ignoring complaints about, “law breakers” for lack of a better term. Everything I’ve heard about them makes me completely flabbergasted as to why the FBI and/or DEA has not shut them down and seized everything already. This might be the straw the breaks the camels back on taking action on them.

The actual website address goes to DDOS-GUARD in Russia. I’m assuming this is a front end and the actual servers could be anywhere. Perhaps they are hosted by EPIK as well. If so they are in the US, and I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the Feds ability to monitor it.
