Just to weigh in: Here in Germany, the largest internet provider (Deutsche Telekom) did the same thing. It's basically just a "search guide", it redirects you to a search page and assumes you just had a typo in the URL. Telekom stopped doing that in April, after a user reported them to the district attorney for supposed data manipulation, a misdemeanor. Am 18.11.2019 um 18:45 schrieb Marshall, Quincy:
This is mostly informational and may have already hit this group. My google-foo failed me if so. I discovered that the CenturyLink/Level(3) public DNS (4.2.2.2, etc) are spoofing all domains. If the hostname begins with a “w” and does not exist in the authoritative zone these hosts will return two Akamai hosts. [root@localhost ~]# dig +short w3.dummydomaindoesntexist.gov @4.2.2.2 23.202.231.167 23.217.138.108 [root@localhost ~]# dig +short w3.dummydomaindoesntexist.net @4.2.2.2 23.202.231.167 23.217.138.108 [root@localhost ~]# dig +short w3.dummydomaindoesntexist.com @4.2.2.2 23.202.231.167 23.217.138.108 [root@localhost ~]# dig +short w3.dummydomaindoesntexist.org @4.2.2.2 23.202.231.167 23.217.138.108 My apologies if this is old news. *Lawrence Q.
