Is tradepub.com in anyway connected to HN? The reason I ask is that I stumbled upon this page:

http://thehackernews.tradepub.com/free-offer/2016-top-trending-government-technology-resources/w_bund15?sr=hicat&_t=hicat:1204

Which in turn brought me to this page:

https://thehackernews.com/

The "thehackernews.com" domain is a spam site. If you have "show dead" enabled in your HN user profile, you can see that just about everything submitted to HN from that domain is '[dead]'.

Thank you. I suspected it was but I wanted to verify.
