Tonight's Teletrade auction has been cancelled! I have never seen this happen before. Must be an IT problem if I had to guess. Anyone have any specific info? http://www.teletrade.com/ TC
All I can add is what I saw this afternoon/evening. About half an hour after the auction was supposed to start, they had a similar page up, saying the start would be delayed by one hour. Fine, no problem. Sure enough, about 4 pm I visited, and the auction was up and running, and i added a couple lots to my watch list. Somewhere around 6pm or so, i went back to check, and Chrome gave me the google malware warning for any page other than the main index page. Then, not long afterwards, I saw the current page. *shrug*
The site was sporadic throughout the day as far as accessibility. We had bids on lots in the auction.
This morning the main site is back up, but Google is still concerned about malware if you try to visit any page on the site. Google's diagnostic page for teletrade is at: http://safebrowsing.clients.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http%3A%2F%2Fteletrade.com%2Fcoins%2Ftrack.asp%3Ffresh%3D9%3A55%3A15%2BAM&client=googlechrome&hl=en-US If someone from TT lurks/reads CT, it would be nice if you guys could speak to this issue.
My bad. It looks like he jumped ship. Corey Maita (formerly at Gainesville Coins) is now President of Teletrade. TC
Ok...yeah, I knew he'd left TT and founded GC...but I wasn't sure if maybe he'd come back or something. Hard to keep all of them straight. :too-funny:
Well, they say it's resolved now. Between their reference to a new cert, and google's findings earlier, my GUESS is their SSL cert expired, and they suffered a man-in-the-middle attack...but that's only a wild, out of the blue guess. Put it this way...it would fit what we've seen, but so would dozens of other things. *heh* In either case, it would appear their IT folks caught it pretty quickly, and did the right thing by taking things down when they did. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to change your password over there now, just in case.
We already covered that above. Reading is good. I really have no idea what you're talking about here....what I was SUGGESTING is that it might be a good idea to CHANGE your password at teletrade.com
See Screen Print above. For US Customers, the password is usually the billing address zipcode although I do understand that "usually" does not mean always.

Checked the site early yesterday morning, didn't see anything I liked (classic commem wise), and missed all the fun. Nice to see the boss man checkin' in here........
Thanks for taking the time to post here Corey. TT is one of my favorite auction sites. Glad to hear all is well. TC
That really is so cool that the President of TT would just stop by here and tell us what was going on. And by the way I am so glad those coins are going back up for auction. There were quite a few coins that I wanted.
