       New, from me: Most Parked Domains Now Serving Malicious ContentDirect navigation — the act of visiting a website by manually typing a domain name in a web browser — has never been riskier: A new study finds the vast majority of “parked” domains — mostly expired or dormant domain names, or common misspellings of popular websites — are now configured to redirect visitors to sites that foist scams and malware.https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/12/most-parked-domains-now-serving-malicious-content/#typosquatting

       @briankrebs Time to start memorizing ip addy's. (Joking, I think)

       @tomjennings @briankrebs Given the amount of shared hosting I don't think that would help.Here I've been blocking nameservers of domain-parking companies but no idea how effective that is, specially as some domain-parking is done by registrars.

       @lanodan Lol I was joking, but we're in a place where I could write that and think to do it, sigh...What the net effect of all this is, is to deprecate the world wide web, entirely. The good::crap ratio is pretty bad, and worsening.Lots of retro folk have been suggesting webrings; there's merit in there, or something like it; rings of trust. As in, "I know this is a person who actually exists".In duh nine-ies there was somewhat utopic talk of reputation servers, in the PGP effort, I was fully onboard. Some actually exist, eg. within eBay, somewhat watered down today but still real.Hmm reputation server, writ broadly, may be analogous to fedi include- and block-lists, of the sorts @Are0h was talking about, shared and servered lists. Now that turned more general-purpose might be a path out of this shit storm.

       @leopardboy Lol! (Sadly, the real solution never got implemented, which was to use an echo conference to distribute the nodelist fragments, then every node (or nethost) could assemble it. It would have been Pretty Fucking Elegant.)

       @tomjennings That would have been pretty cool.

       @leopardboy Oh duh I forgot the punchline: doing so would have made Regional Coordinators utterly redundant; they assigned themselves a gateway task for creepy reasons and opposed it all the way.
