The ShutterDowner site now displays Shutterstock favicon on the page tab. They've hacked that too. People who don't know better BELIEVE that they are actually on the legit Shutterstock site!

See for yourself. This thief is one step ahead of SS. SS needs to take serious action, their added security measures do not help. It's a cat and mouse game with this hacker, this site needs to be taken down.

Shutterstock may take action but it seems to take them forever. I reported this site through their correct email address to them around 10 days ago and had a reply from them a couple of days ago to say that they were taking action. When I reported the site 10 days ago, it was already using the SS favicon.
ravens:
Shutterstock have replied that they are working to get this site removed.
I believe they do, but it is taking time.
Right now, if you do a search with "ShutterDowner" you can see this site is all over web. It's shared in Facebook and other social media a zillion of times.
Email Shutterstock.
When you see the link in Facebook or any other social media, report it.
Do something!
If you do nothing, you not only get nothing, these b*stards keep stealing more of your work!

Not sure when SS will fix it.

Thank you. I haven't seen that thread. It has been one month since the issue was discovered and discussed. Nothing has changed.
There's no wonder anymore why our sales are in decline. Shutterstock not only encourages 000' of new contributors to upload millions of poor similar images and spam the search but also has no interest in closing backdoors in its tech.
One simple search for how to download shutterstock images for free provides you with tens of options to choose from.
Very upset. Is there any official response from Shutterstock?

I think that one thing to do is to send a tweet to @jonoringer
Another thing it to write about it on the Shutterstock Facebook page > https://www.facebook.com/Shutterstock/
Of course if only one or two persons will do it it will have no effect, but if we are 10…100… 1000…
(But as always, people will lament… and do nothing… You want to bet?)

Thats a sure thing Bet if I ever heard one. 99% just talk. Things are how they are because we let them be that way.
