Where has Foma gone?

[Jonno85uk]

It would appear Foma's website has gone down and the instagram account @foma_cz has dissapeared. Has something happened at Foma?

 

[Dusty Negative]

Hmmmm. Hopefully just a temporary technical snafu.

 

[MARTIE]

It's probably far too early to worry. Let's hope it's just planned updates being carried out over the weekend.

E-shop is still up....https://fomaobchod.cz/en/discount10-20/

 

[radiant]

The foma.cz web-server doesn't seem to respond to ping. (foma.cz has address 81.2.194.128)

 

[pentaxuser]

Just tried it and still can't connect as of 8:10pm tonight 2nd April 2022

They border Ukraine. Wonder if someone is taking the internet down more broadly in the area?

Their ISP (who hosts their services) is up. So this is not the case.

I'm pretty sure the Czech Republic does not border Ukraine

It depends on viewing distance

The Czech Republic does not share a border with Ukraine.

People even here in Western Europe typically had no idea about Ukraine's geography or history until few weeks ago... I never heard that name in school.

From west borde of Germany to east border of Ukraine the distance is about 1200km. About same distance that is from Berlin to Kiev. From south Germany to north of Spain is 900km.

Maybe East Germany was blocking the view, perhaps?

 

[AgX]

Not at all. Education has blocked our minds.

I was looking at Czechoslovakia, and the Slovakia portion borders Ukraine. It is true they are separate today.

I hope all is well!

I think they have common borders with Russia and Tunisia, not Ukraine.
Ukraine itself has not been cut off from the Internet, according to my information

Poland, Slovakia, Austria and Germany...

Seems like maps are changing continuously. Hard to keep up.

"Dear customers,

We want to apologize for the temporarily not working websites www.foma.cz and www.foma.eu.

Unfortunately, there are some technical problems on the side of our supplier, who is now getting it to work again.

The web-sites of our e-shop are working without problems: www.fomaobchod.cz.

Thank you for your understanding."

foma.cz is up again.

I have strong feeling that their webserver & instagram were hacked.

Probably by a cabal of digital photographers. No telling how many film enthusiasts jumped ship.

Curiously enough, I was about to buy 20 rolls of Arista 400 over the weekend, but decided to wait till next week to increase the order .
