Is RAND McNally ELD dead web site is down since Monday

In the same boat. Thinking ransomware. In this day and age, a website being down more than a few minutes probably isn't a simple technical glitch.

 

They were hacked and fir safety shut most of the computers down until they can find out what happened... I got 2 emails about it from them

 

Bump

 

This is the third email I've gotten

Hey @flood . You should edit your post and remove the last line for your security purposes. Not trying to tell you what to do man, jes sayin...

 

I got the same string of emails, and haven't been able to update my GPS this week. The GPS shows it's connected to wifi, but also says it can't check for updates because it's not connected to the internet. I can't connect it to a laptop either, Windows thinks the GPS is a music player and the GPS says it's still not connected to the internet.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a way around it that doesn't involve buying a Garmin?

 

yes, use the hammer gps app provided by the owners of this site for free
