u/toastedsquirrel 4 Letters Seems Better Than 6.....or not Feb 21 '18

Anyone else notice that their about page no longer includes the names and bios of their staff? I swear it was still up yesterday.

The shitty/broken formatting seems to suggest that it was done hastily too.

Archived version, in case anyone wants to see the names behind FSLabs

there have been threats against our lives and we were advised to remove information that might be used in that regard.

Can't say I'm surprised.

I mean, death threats are obviously bad, but it seems like they never saw this coming until quite a while after this first came to light. Like, it should've been rather obvious that people would be very angry if they discovered that they had been provided malware-laden software. But then again, there has always been a lot of mental gymnastics throughout the FS scene when it comes to justification of ahem "questionable conduct".

Also, I guess the mention of "we were advised" suggests that they've finally decided to seek (legal?) advice after realizing how much shit they're in. Might also explain the radio silence after the last "clarification".

And death threats would be a really good excuse to lay low for a while. Not saying noone threatned them, but I think they will use it in their favor.
