Just wanted to pass a warning to anyone here who owns domains, as this happened to me.

I bought a domain and had it pointing to GitHub but hadn’t used it yet, apparently since they are using public namesevers anybody can claim and use it, even as you still own it.

They use a bunch of these domains in hopes of generating web traffic and leads to some scam, in this case it was a list of foreign websites for running slot games online.

In my case this wasn’t a problem, but if you have a domain that connects to brand name, I could see this being a problem, so just thought I’d share.

I have mine registered at Namecheap and hosted at A2Hosting, if that info helps anyone. 🧡✨ It's a good idea to separate registration from hosting platforms. A bit like separating money from state. 😂
