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.

This has been a common tactic for ages. Nothing new.

Yes, still thought I’d give people a reminder and mention what happened specifically

Yes, and despite this people get caught, it may not be new to you but it most definitely will be new to someone. So the OP deserves credit for bringing it to attention of others that it may be new too.

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. 😂

An Idiot that called herself Bitcoin Manager scammed of my earn hard money 😡🥲 I consulted JBEE SPY TEAM when I was involved in a bitcoin trading scam. It was unknown to me that there were systematic ways to retrieve scammed funds. I came across a business website who promised a huge return on investment. I was so convinced. The website was good and after all the convincing, I ended up depositing 150,000 USD, unfortunately, I fell into the wrong hands. I was really devastated until I sent an email to an expert who came highly recommended to JBEE SPY TEAM

I gave him all the information about the scammer and this hacker also work together with the FBI., and within a few working days, they restored 85% of my BTC back to my wallet. I was shocked and glad at the same time. With trustworthy people like JBEE SPY TEAM I can 100% guarantee your money will be recovered back.
