What happened to Getbux.in?

Recently, the PTC site known as GetBux.in had disappeared without a trace, leaving many of the members to worry that they had been scammed. This is the headline that caught my attention in one of my PTC news sources. However, it was also said that the administrator of the alleged site made a conscious effort to inform some of the users that the site had actually been hacked with the Alertpay account blocked.

The owner, Mark L, had said that it first seemed impossible for the site to be hacked, but everyone will be given notice when the site is backed up. He, however, failed to explain the process of this hacking attempt and why it has also affected the site's Alertpay account.

Of course it would be no surprise for a payment processor to freeze the account of a site that sites a problem. But, according to many of the users, they were not informed quick enough that the site had been hacked. This could have resulted in complaints directed at Alertpay regarding the site shortly after it went down.
