Skynet Research Password Discovered Dan Koelsch, May 19, 2009April 10, 2010 This Terminator Salvation viral update comes to us thanks to cwoolboy in our forums. Recently, if you’ve checked out the Skynet website’s product page, you may have noticed that if you position your cursor over the “P” in “Products”, a dialog box opens for you to enter a password. Well, now we know the password is “skynetresearchinitiatephasetwoprojectjudgementday”. Long, I know. The interesting results of entering the password after the jump. Once the password is entered, the page refreshes under the same address and same products, but now it’s all in red, and code in white font is transmitted in a loop. You have to see it to fully understand, but check out this screenshot to get an idea. Now if you click on each product, their pages are also changed. Now they tell you what each product is REALLY used for, and these uses are very dubious. For instance, the product pictured below, dubbed the “AUTONOMOUS MASS TRANSIT BOT” is actually used for “Bulk transport of human subjects to designated collection/processing centers.” Very interesting stuff. Check it out for yourself and discuss it in our forum. Viral Marketing SkynetTerminator Salvation
