seems to be minecrafts main webpage was hacked. tried to access it and all that pops up is link that says "click here!" which is an obvious redirect to a trojan.  Also it will go to a blank page that just says: 

"Welcome to nginx!

anyone else having this issue?

to answer the obvious statement yes i typed .net not .com.

NGINX

NGINX is just the webserver software which is faster and more lightweight than the popular apache.

WoM has been running NGINX from day 1.
