They purposely purchased a tainted domain, seems a bit disingenuous to a) claim sec expertise and then b) complain that a previously maliciously used DNS name is blacklisted which c) is a spelling variant of a well known large corp and d) which you are hosting deceptive ad content on. And it is deceptive because unlike the title suggests there is no "challenge" mentioned in the article yet the wording strongly suggest some sort of rewarded hackathon. If you buy a previous well own scam URL, cry me a river about being blacklisted. If you get the cheapest IPv4 don't come complaining that all you email gets classified as spam. _Especially_ if you claim to be an expert. |

Are we talking about when it had malicious contents for a couple weeks in 2018? Come on, that's not tainted in 2024 by any reasonable metric.
> is a spelling variant of a well known large corp
It's talking about the large corp, and isn't even close to their real URL. And there's a lot of ways you could interpret "baways", including connections to the company called Baway and the unrelated stock ticker BAWAY. So I see what you're saying but I don't think it's a big deal.
> complain that a previously maliciously used DNS name is blacklisted
I don't see them complaining?

That's the submitter's fault for using the subtitle instead of the title.
