Hi guys,
TL;DR : DON'T visit the site through Neocolours.eu or Neocolours.org.uk until I (and only I, in case someone is trying to be clever and evil here) give the OK again. Use Neocolours.me.uk, which is the main domain for the site.
Techy bits go here :
It seems that somewhere along the way, Neocolours.eu and Neocolours.org.uk have had their DNS hijacked and routed to some hive of scum and villainy (a random malware/phishing/naughty pictures server). It's not anything I can directly correct, as I have control of the records and they should be fine, so I think someone's trying to hit an exploit on a DNS server out of my control. It's happening to many domains, we've not been singled out from the crowd as far as I can tell. I'm in contact with the DNS people for the domains, and we'll see what comes out of that.
