Did they lose their domain OWNERSHIP? I thought just the hosting part.
- johnhattan 9y agoYeah, a WHOIS shows that it's owned by Andrew Anglin (the original owner) until 2020. I assume that the registrars (GoDaddy and Google) just aren't letting it point to anything.
- hackermailman 9y agoThe domain is in limbo, not the hosting. They already bought a new .ru domain and created a tor hidden service apparently. Whenever I see yet another article about that site, I think of the free advertising they are getting. It used to be a fringe site nobody had heard of but now that they are the media's public enemy #1 they've been elevated to mainstream status. Reminds me of something James Randi once said about debunking fraud psychics on TV, it didn't matter what he proved about them, people just saw the psychic on TV and immediately signed up for whatever they were selling in droves so he stopped doing it.
