@CyanoTex this doesn't seem actionable.

Understandable. At least I tried to save some unfortunate young souls from being phished. ☹️

Maybe one of our curators will list this?

@hawkeye116477 you list rbxfree.com and www.rbxfree.com in KADhosts. Is rbx.best related?

We are probably rbxfree.com on the list because of the popularity of the Roblox game, because now the site has no polonization.

Oher story is that young people (pupils) mostly learn English as a second language, less frequently learn German; probably part as a third learn Spanish language (rbxfree.com).
