FilePlanet was a site that distributed game files and some other software, the site had fallen into disuse with the GameSpy shutdown and was in an archival state until it got sold by IGN to some Slovenian bastards who go by Innova Media...
Now the files are gone and completely replaced by malware, and people who are trying to find old files are getting infected by this piece of shit, plus the articles are all gone.
This whole situation is IGN's fault as they could have just sat on the site instead, and I doubt they will try to make it right as said journalistic outlet is controlled by the regressive left.
I feel like this happened a few years ago. I remember looking for some legacy drivers and decided to try fileplanet and when I went to download anything my antivirus went nuts.
The first reported incident of this happening occurred in late 2016 after the sale was completed.
Sometimes I think actual files became available when they tweak their model occasionally as I think I downloaded tux paint and verified the exe with virus total, plus I have also seen them try to push their adblocker too.
I hate the IGN network, but it would be funny if they reported them for malware distribution and pressured ICANN and maybe the local government into giving the domain back, I am not sure if this would count as a scam but fuck Innova Media.
