The Scientist Is Hijacked

After an investigation, the 5GH team is confident that the journal, “The Scientist”, is hijacked.

Recently, the 5GH team was reported by a client that he received a e-mail (File 1) asking for his submission to the journal, and a "submission guidelines" (File 2) was attached to that e-mail, suggesting the "home page" of the journal is "scientist-labx.com".

However, after an investigation, the 5GH team found that "scientist-labx.com" is not the address for the official website of “The Scientist”, and the team is confident that the journal is hijacked.

The 5GH team asks the publisher for further actions against this hijacked website.
