Security nerds have launched a Gofundme to buy back securityfocus.com, a domain that hosted the Bugtraq site and more than 120,000 links from the National Vulnerability Database that are now dead.

Also this is the kinda thing a scammy group of crypto bro indians in a telegram channel would do. Buy a domain, then pretend to be concerned group of internet denizens and start a gofundme to buy the domain that they now own, trick of bunch of well meaning idiots into raising the money, and profit.

I see stupid ops like this purpetrated by indians go down all time around crypto spaces.

@briankrebs sounds like something a big consulting firm or whatever they are would typically do for the planet.

Also a good idea, but likely a logistical nightmare as it involves many many different site owners/webmasters.

(hmm, do we still use that term? Feels like I haven't used it in a long time.)

@poing

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to create a browser plug-in that just automatically offers to redirect links referencing the bad domain to the desired pages at the #InternetArchive .

Can you criticize a slimy company without hurling slurs at people with disabilities and of different ethnic/national backgrounds?
