The server has been down for over 24 hours now. Can't get email response from Jamie on repair service either. Good ol Minelab

Thats probably because all ML email go through the ML server.

DOS attack, hacked.. It is highly unusual for big companies site to go offline for this length of time.
Not that Minelab would be what I consider a great target for hackers, but if you announce you are going after the people making lots of money on counterfit detectors, it would become a target.
In all likelihood it something more mundane, this was just a thought.

Yeah, the total silence is whats weird about this. A website going down isn't unusual, but to be down for days and nothing is said about it on their FB or Twitter accounts is VERY unusual. Big companies are typical all over things like this within hours making posts saying "Hey, we know that there is a problem, we are working to fix it, sorry for any inconvenience."
I get the silence about new detector release (to a point), but this silence seems strange and almost planned. Personal gut feeling there.

Maybe the other Metal Detecting Companies got together and hacked them because of the NOX making all other detectors worthless.

My guess is one of two things.
1. Hardware or software failure and a real bad job of communicating what is going on the weekend before Christmas.
2. The site was hacked. They are assessing the situation trying to figure out what information was stolen. Making sure the servers are all secure before bringing it back online and having a statement about what may have been compromised. If I recall all of the exchange data is stored locally so that probably wouldn't be an issue and probably an entirely different system anyhow.
