http://www.appykidsco.com/ - was the site. No porn sadly. Just a chinese landing page.

Open it from a mobile device. Definitely lots of porn ads...

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

That was my first thought, too - that they'd used Paw Patrol "fan art" as marketing materials, but no... it sounds like it was just improperly vetted adult ads displaying on their site. I am more than a little disappointed.

not even that exciting. the company that made the snacks apparently went out of business a year ago, so the domain lapsed.. and this is what can happen.

When they went out a year ago, why do they recall something now?

[–] cybirdman@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It's ridiculous that they would rather throw out all this product instead of just buying the domain back and serve a simple website. Goes to show how little the brand controls about their business.

I agree that it's more cybersecruity related but given that this incident led to a food product recall there is a bit of a more broad appeal so I think fits this community.
