Lost Experience: site down!

Whoa, so it looks like thehansofoundation.org website has been hacked. There site has gone down and is all red and there is only a message saying

The Hanso Foundation site has been hacked by malicious infiltrators seeking to blemish the good work of many dedicated researchers. Until a legal investigation is completed, the site will no longer be accessible to the public. Namaste.

Looking a the sourcecode though, what do we see? A hidden link to http://www.rachelblake.com/ which seems to be just a blog about someone going to Denmark (hold on isnt Alvar Hanso from Denmark?) Just has one post but nothing that interesting in it apart from the background image which seems to show Alvar's travels. There is also a box asking for "Extra Info" which is actually a flash file called "checkpass.swf" so its time to find a password! If anyone can spot more clues there let me know! I shall be having a proper look today

Lost Experience: Institute for Genomic Advancement

Thanks to a post that gave me a hint, If you go to the Institute of Genomic Advancement you will notice that the top right hand corner has that eery shaking that you get when there is a clue alert on the site, if you mouse over some of the cells that are depicted as "Comparing Normal Cell and Mutant Cell" you can see some words displayed on the X-ray: "Retrievers of Truth", if you google this term you will find the www.retrieversoftruth.com website. Sign for a newsletter and you will get an email with more hints. This hint hasnt helped me with the entry field that is in the IGA section (just below and to the right of the Educational Outreach experiments picture. I tried a couple of the hints but still no pay off. But one step closer. EDIT: The clue goes on, after you have got the email, go back, and enter the word "porter" to the newsletter sign up... ohh.. lookee here, some forums... reading time! Which leads me to this site.. lots of spoilers my friends... travel down the rabbit hole...

Lost Experience: WWPdp password?

Well, I had some time to look round the Hanso Foundation site again and under the Worldwide Wellness and Prevention Development Programme I noticed that if you go to the Press Release section and you click on the word "miracle" it asks you for a password, I am sure its related to the previous clue about the Mathematical Forecasting Initiative. Anyone have any clues?

Lost Experience: WWPdp updated

Looks like more updates to the Hanso site, although with this one I am a bit confused since it doesnt really do much, even if you head over to the WWP and do the map thing (before you post, yes I know there is a hidden area near Barbados, its been there a while) So what is the update? I havent spotted it yet, there is reference to the Mathematical Forecasting Initiative, which I blogged about before.

WWPdp updated
Will global changes in weather cause population centers to shift? Where are new diseases likely to emerge? Which species need protection now before they begin to decline? The Mathematical Forecasting Initiative uses cutting-edge theory to anticipate the twists and turns of humanity's story. Read more

If anyone spots whats changed, make sure you let me know!

Lost Experience: Mathematical Forecasting Initiative

I just checked my RSS feeds as I got home and I noticed that the Hanso Foundation released three new newsitems! Now, two of them I think are a bit of a red-herring, one details their re-design, the other says they have had disruptions (which I think is a repeat, although I am not sure) and the last is the following:

Mathematical Forecasting Initiative uses cutting-edge theory Today, 06:40 PM Will global changes in weather cause population centers to shift? Where are new diseases likely to emerge? Which species need protection now before they begin to decline? The Mathematical Forecasting Initiative uses cutting-edge theory to anticipate the twists and turns of humanity's story. Read more

If you head to the Mathematical Forecasting Initiative page, you can now see a MFI Forecast Map, which is very interesting apart that it seems some countries (Swipe to see which they are:USA, Italy and Sudan ) dont have the full details. You could always go and check out the CIA worldbook and get the details you need. Very interesting indeed. I will only post screenshots if you are all "Lost" you know!

Lost Experience: Careers not what they seem?

I was just looking at the careers and I spotted that some letters are lighter in the text than others. I checked this out and I noticed that each job posting has two or three letters that are lighter than the others, I have put them down here but I cant spot a pattern yet. Anyone? Personal Assistant: NS
Organ Courier: LUT
Art Therapist/Psychologist: MIE
Simian Veterinarian: MA
Anger Management Director: YA
Any hints apreciated! Oh, and there is a hidden link back to the Hanso foundation executive bios.
