Ask HN: Google's cache of my website points to app7.storify.com, why?

2 points by jezclaremurugan ↗ HN
I had a website didtheyread.com which is currently down. For fun I checked google cache and it points to app7.storify.com, the top bar says this is google's cache of app7.storify.com - http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:efOOFqEZIA4J:didtheyread.com/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=firefox-nightly

However, the original search link points correctly. Info, hosted on linode, and uses cloudfare CDN.

checking the domain didtheyread.com I get the cloudflare 404, saying the site is offline (the Linode site? If you're hosting there, can you access your hosting control panel?)

going to the live site link at the bottom of that page, gets the same page.

Earlier in March, Linode was compromised. There's a few articles around about the incident.

Good luck.

Did you build your site using storify.com ?

My linode wasn't troubled then. And I didn't use storify anywhere. I was wondering whether cloudfare stored the cached version of my site somewhere with storify.
