So yesterday we discovered this website named hackingress.com. All it is, is a website counting down to what looks like January 14th, at 9pm EST. The site has the IP address 173.230.131.219 and is registered for one year at GoDaddy and hosted with Linode.com.
There is also an embedded message within an attached CSS file as a comment, here is the comment in the coming.css file:
/* I have bypassed the Niantic Mainframe and have begun a subnet for much improved OPS. As I am ambivalent toward any faction, these tools will help all agents in reverse-engineering these shaper technologies. The NIA will invariably try to shut this down, but I have established numerous exit and entrance nodes within a private TOR in the background. NGOs will not shut me down. Stand by for further instructions and more information. */

> PORTAL
argument not specified. Try: ‘portal [PORTAL NAME]‘
> PORTAL [holroyd uniting church]
Portal not found. Portal database is still being indexed.
Estimated completion: 2013.01.14
Seems to me its counting down until the portal database is complete – and whatever follows.
Probably, there will be much updated Intel map with additional options. Check my post with screenshots – http://extendiality.com/hackingress-new-ingress-intel-map/
