What's Up with Mcd racing.com?

There's been an Under Construction placeholder image on the home page for a week. Did they get hit with a ransomware attack?

I can't imagine MCD has willing let their site be down for a week.

Taylor or cardinal for mcd stuff.

Still though. They had all the manuals and graphics files for download. Glad I just completed my build.

Probably updating to a more modern site. Possibly removing some old skus from the v4 stuff, maybe preparing for a v6 launch?

That's why I was visiting MCD Racing site. I don't own an MCD but wanted to "ooh and ahh" over the models and exploded diagrams.

A guy has to have dreams.

I work as a software engineer. Site upgrades usually happen on a parallel "pre-production" site that is tested and stabilized. On the day of the upgrade users are routed to the upgraded site. It's usually a 5 second blip or not even noticed by users. Being offline for this long points to something wrong with MCD's compute provider, network host, etc. It could be explained by a bad upgrade but smells like an unintended extended outage that happens with a ransomware attack.

I have mcd on wish list.....l thought taylor had taken over as dealer. Sometimes it's hard to figure out who sells what......Many times parts, in particular, aren't listed under a vehicle section, but are available in the general section. Really got to look close to figure it out. But still grateful that a email or phone call will get you what you need!!!!!
