A .ly domain? Really? The website seems to deal with highly confidential data, and they're basing it on a top-level domain from a dictatorship (Libya) whose leader is currently bombing peaceful demonstrators? (That's right, they're using fighter planes against demonstrators!)
Even before the current Libyan revolution there were problems with using .ly domains. E.g., Gadhafi recently made it illegal to use .ly domains for things deemed against Islam.

- notahacker 16y agoI'm genuinely unable to believe they'd launch with that domain this week, irrespective of how much they'd financially and emotionally invested in the cute domain hack. It would be amazing even for the beta launch of a service that didn't depend on your trust in their security and ability to maintain uptime.
