Maxxuss Site Down Again?

As of Tuesday, March 7, 2006 at 9am ET, maxxuss.com is down. Last time Maxxuss changed domains, the OS X hacking community went into a frenzy because of coincidental timing shortly after Win2osx and OSx86 Project were served DMCA notices. This outage comes on the heals of Maxxuss releasing Patch Solution for Mac OS X 10.4.5 Security Update 2006-001 that allows the latest version of OS X 10.4.5 run on white box x86 computers. It could be nothing more than a bandwidth usage issue, something more severe like a server outage or it could be legal trouble.

The entire series of posts on Maxxuss and the hacked versions of Apple OS X are worth a read for context on the latest incident in a string episodes in this high profile back-and-forth soap opera.

Update (3.7.2006): The Maxxuss patch site is working but the blog is still down as of 12:52pm ET.

Update (3.9.2006): maxxuss.com is working again.

If there are any new developments, don’t hesitate to shoot me an e-mail or dropping a comment below. I’ll post updates as this story develops.

As always, I don’t condone piracy so please don’t do anything illegal.
