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.

Hope this makes sense.

The No Agenda show does this all the time, they'll buy current event domain names and redirect it to the show domain, and listeners have been doing the same, for years. You could buy "BidenHasDementia.com" and redirect it to here.

According to whois, someone got this domain last March, sadly. :)

And yes, I was ready to buy it.
