[German]Does anyone use Stardock products (start menu etc.)? Something strange has happened since a week. A blog reader pointed out to me that there are problems with their website. And there has been talk of technical problems for several hours. However, when the reader tried to visit the site, he received a warning from his security solution because redirects were occurring.

A reader message on Facebook
A German blog reader contacted me a few days ago in a private message on Facebook. He told me, that the Stardock has been unavailable on the Internet since Friday morning, March 14, 2025. There had probably been redirection attempts that the reader's virus scanner had blocked. There was a redirect to a somewhat unusual address with the domain ending .us.
As of Friday afternoon, Stardock has put up the above info page, stating that there are technical issues with some of their websites. The company's web services are down and they are working on a fix.
The reader said: "I can actually still get into my account via a special link, but I'm skipping the usual route."
In this comment, a German blog reader wrote, that he received a mail saying: "After a network outage, most Stardock operations are back to nominal performance levels. We have no reason to suspect your data was compromised. However, we are still working to bring some services online.".
