flowbased.org is no longer available?

Somebody trying to do URL-squatting? Or just a weird coincidence? The web site in question starts with ww4... . Regards, Paul

It seems to be redirecting to ww4.flowbased.org

Maybe you should check with the domain provider?

Hi @darmie , I have contacted Github. I wasn't clear about what is the effect of this...? I can see the real flowbased.org as the 3rd result of a Google search - is this hack (?) affecting other software?

[darmie]

Yes I can see it in Google search, I believe that is because it has already been indexed by google search engine. I suspect an hack, but that might not be the case.

Looks like an expired domain to me (and then bought again).

The creation date is 2018-06-29, which must mean it was expired a while before that.

Sorry, that's my fault. The domain didn't auto-prolongate and I lost it to some cybersqatters. We can try registering flowbased.net. What do you think?
