| Oct 23, 2015 at 18:29 | comment | added | KGIII | @Seth Probably true but I was only referencing this one as that was the question asked. :/ And, as hephaestus indicated - that may not be true tomorrow so there's that. The same thing always applies - know where you are before giving up your credentials. Maybe a security section would be of interest? | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 18:26 | comment | added | Seth Mod | @KGIII There are quite a few of these exact clones out there. Most of them don't link back here. | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 18:25 | comment | added | Hephaestus | Today that's true. Tomorrow...? | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 18:24 | comment | added | KGIII | Not really, well, I don't see how. Have you clicked the login or register buttons at that site? They take you to askubuntu.com and not on that site directly. That was the first thing I checked before commenting. Given the source IP addresses it doesn't look like they're spoofing the URL in the address bar either - it takes you to this site. | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 18:18 | comment | added | Hephaestus | The issue is that it's an EXACT clone of askubuntu.com, all the way down to the login link. Any poor schlub who fails to notice the different TLD may just give up their login credentials... | |
| Oct 23, 2015 at 18:14 | comment | added | KGIII | In the scope of things, is it important? People will find the right place and there will always be lesser quality forums out there. I'd not run something like that, nor do I condone it, but I don't see where it's an issue unless there's a trademark complaint or copyright issues that are bothering the powers that be. | |
