Hey, when I am looking for some site and I click on the date I want to show (for example 4 aug 2019), instead of showing the page, when I click on that, it downloads me a file with weird type. What does it mean? The domain was hacked and when someone accessed it, it downloaded him a file?


btw older dates are showing normal.

If you are not checking a download URL, it probably got hacked in those dates

Meaning this domain can't be used for PBN right. That would not be clever?

Didn't have to be hack unnecessarily. I've come across hundreds of domains like that, oftentimes it was a music file from autoplay. Archive can get weird sometimes.
