What are the chances somebody hacked it?

I just looked at a sampling of Wayback Machine snapshots of the cosecha page. There are none between April 3rd and a 'Save Page Now' snapshot today "Thu, 01 May 2025 19:31:41 GMT". Two hours ago, unless I'm wrong on that. It's sure fun to read this news while it's still fresh like a footprint. I'd say it feels like something!

I have been pretty sceptical about all the other 'signs' but this is definitely not nothing

This feels significant, although not necessarily an indicator that something is imminent. Let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

Very unlikely, at least for me. Why would someone bother hacking that site, only to put on a message?

The only reason i would guess for this to be the case is a hoax, but hacking a site just for that honestly seems very overkill to me

Agreed, it does seem like it would be investing too much time into a small niche.

What about the recent 36 likes BoC handed out on Instagram, all revolving around the topic of new music? That seems more interesting to me, with regards to a new album, than a change on a 12 year old website used in an ARG for their previous LP.

I love to be proven wrong, but I can't get excited for this activity yet because I don't see a link with LP5.

But still happy to see activity. :D

not sure if this is worth anything but put it into chatgpt and got this response

"Morse Code Translation:
We'll translate word-by-word:

-. --- -... --- -.. -.--
= N O B O D Y
→ "nobody"

/
(separates words)

.... --- -- .
= H O M E
→ "home"

. -.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-
Each .-.-.- is the Morse code for a period (.)

So this is . . . → "..."

Full translation:
nobody home...

So the text before the Morse code ("nobody home...") is repeated in Morse code after the slashes.

Interpretation:
The /// is a separator (not Morse code, just visual).

The message is written in English, then repeated in Morse code.

This is often used stylistically, for example in music, storytelling, or digital media to hint at radio/static, cryptic communication, or a sense of mystery or loneliness.

Would you like this decoded into an audio Morse signal too?"

I'd really love to think this means something is on the horizon but it is just too cryptic and the message is a bit discouraging. If I'm really reaching this could continue on the theme of post collapse civilization, a full back to nature album for BOC with no influence of humans on their music. Although that doesn't sound like them to me, they have always had human influences in their music.

I imagine it to be like an out-of-office auto-reply message:

To whom it may concern,

Nobody home… Michael and Marcus are wandering the forests again this season.

Regards,
BoC

But why bother posting it? Why not just remain quiet like they've always done?

I do feel slightly encouraged with this in conjunction with the recent flurry of likes.

This is the reason I snoop around this forum every so often. How long do we think it'll take before there's another sign? Tom's Harvest unfolded over the course of a couple weeks, didn't it?

don’t know if this is just something due to me accessing it from a phone, but when I visit the website it pops up with a download for a file named “document”

This did not happen to me. Can you share anything else about this mysterious document?

Is this what you are seeing? I keep getting different translations for the morse code, too. Here are a few:

#Nobody Home...
Nobody Home Has Left
Nobody Home Merlake (Merkake) ?

Can't seem to get a straight answer. I don't know what Merlake is so I decided to search on YouTube and found a channel with nothing on it but a creation date of 3/24/07 - funny, cosecha was just updated on 3/24. smh.
