Do you have any idea how long the other moderator that owned T_D was compromised for? It seems as if he dislikes us, not that he is just moving on because of security for his family or whatever?
I appreciate the response, but with all due respect it didn’t really answer my question? (Unless I am misreading)... Is it possible he gave access to our information to third party bad-actors for quite a long time, before you became aware of him being compromised? Thanks again
Mods feel free to correct me here but I think I understand his question and can give some insight.
The most important point is this: **Owning a domain name does not imply owning the content. **
The content MAY be owned/controlled by the same person/entity, but in this case apparently wasn't.
When you own a domain name, you can tell it where to go.
But in this case, the where it goes was always under control of "good" peeps.
As a simple example I could buy the domain "pencebetrayedthecountry.com" and have it redirect to a history channel documentary about circuses. I don't own the history channel content, I dont have any control over it, yet because I own the name, I can send traffic wherever I like.

Thanks fellas
We've been trying to get the domain from him since pretty much launch day.

Hope this makes sense.
