I'm sure everyone saw in the news recently that GoDaddy employees were socially engineered to give up some domain names. Yesterday I received a domain suspension warning from their Digital Crimes Unit claiming one of my domain names was hosting malicious content and violating their Universal TOS. They linked the domain name directly as a sample of the malicious content. When I went there, all that was there was an install of Bitamp's open source project from here:
https://github.com/bitampcom/bitampI had installed it roughly 6 months ago when it was first released on a domain I don't use, testing various wallet services for a client. I had completely forgotten about. Reviewing the files there, nothing was modified since I installed it and it's an exact copy of their repo with no modifications. Confused, I informed them that this was simply an open source project that I was testing and asked for them to explain what was in violation of their TOS.
Today they replied with the following:
The website associated with your domain x.com appears to be purporting an affiliation or official representation of Bitamp Bitcoin Wallet.
In order to authenticate this business affiliation we ask that you have someone from that organization reach out to us and provide confirmation that you have such permission.
In order to avoid any unwanted disruption of service, we require this proof of association to be provided within the next 48 hours.
Regards,
Digital Crimes Unit
I find it a bit odd that I received this days after they were socially engineered. Is anyone else getting these suspension warnings for crypto related services on their domains through GoDaddy or specifically for having the Bitamp open source project installed? From the emails, it is clear they do not know understand what open source or Bitamp is and what the MIT license allows.
