This company must have done something totally awful, the whole domain is automatically blocked by my DNS filters… Ah, its entire point is to stalk unwitting users. I guess my filter was correct!

Please don’t do this more often than once every few months. If they come to rely on you, when you inevitably move on there will be a mass die off that can be directly attributed to your actions. Keep wildlife wild, fed is dead. https:/
