Time to retire Kryptos@home - SECURITY ISSUE w/web site

Dr Who Fan, Tue Sep 21 2021, 02:36PM

It's Dead.... I think it is TIME TO REITRE THE PROJECT! See my reasons below.

1) No web site for almost 3 months [last contact > 2021-07-01 16:00:03 UTC] and now there is a SECURITY ISSUE with the web site SSL CERTIFICATE:

Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.kryptosathome.com (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
This server could not prove that it is www.kryptosathome.com; its security certificate is from garoa.club. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.


2) Seems the website has indeed been re-registered to different owners:

3) There now is ANOTHER website also at the same IP ADDRESS *hubzilla [dot] com [dot] br which was not there when it was an active project. *Hubzilla is a powerful platform for creating interconnected websites featuring a decentralized identity, communications, and permissions framework built using common ).

The project is now on the retired pile.
