nothingtohide.cc is being used by scammers #23

The link nothingtohide.cc (and it's subdomains like back.nothingtohide.cc ) are being used to redirect users to malicious websites. I suspect some scammer bought it after the original domain was freed and now redirects users to scam websites

Some videoproof: https://youtu.be/ap82BknMr0M (The website shown in the vid is only 1 website it redirects to)

I'd replace all links going to this domain with either "[removed]", a info-page mentioning this problem or this issue

Hi! Sorry for the super late reply, and thank you for catching this @Laurinchen ! :+1: I've replaced the links with this screen: which links to this post-mortem

At least that's one solution to web privacy: wait for everything to eventually turn to dust

There is also at least one link to nothingtohide.cc on the Sight and Light interactive article, which has not yet been replaced.
