Looking for some help/advice. Spectrum is sinkholing my company's domain, validin[.]com, to 127.0.0.54.

Howdy,

If you can't reach a technical POC, use the legal one. Your lawyer can
find the appropriate recipient and write a cease-and-desist letter for
you. After that, it's -their- lawyer's problem to track down the
correct technical people.

Incidentally, for folks who choose to interdict DNS: whatever your
reasons, pointing the DNS to a loopback IP is bad practice. Really bad
practice. Minimum good practice points it to a web site you control
which provides enough information to get delisted. And provides you
with a test point where you can collect information about what you've
caused to be interdicted.

Bill Herrin
