I was a victim of the epik hack
people were blackmailing me to take my site down
i was in a bunch of discord rooms for 'free speech' domain resellers
one of them says he will 'save me from the epik hack' paraphrased
he transfers me to enom
i ask to be transferred to eranet because i thought that's what he used
he quotes me $100/year
i pay and the receipt says $100/month (eranet is like $15-30/year)
he ignores me until i say i want to leave his service, at which point he says it was a mistake, and changes to 'renew' date of the monthly bill to a year from now
i tell him i don't like that hanging over me and to give me an email receipt of new plan, he refuses and insults me as being needy
i tell him i want to leave his services, he seems to agree (but without emaill receipts, as he refuses to contact by email)
i contact enom saying i'm worried about the reseller. they say there's nothing they can do. I tell them which nameservers it should always point at and tell them not to let it transfer without my explicit permission. they ignore me saying it's a customer dispute
i'm worried about the reseller possibly stealing my domain and/or pointing it to something weird
my domain this post is abouts incelwiki.com, which was like some attempt to make a non-misogynist resource for incels wanting to escape the 'blackpill philosophy'. Reseller tells me because it's a controversal domain, when I leave him i'll be 'out of luck'
a day afterward i can't leave cuz domain is locked from previous transfer, but my entire site gets hacked through an obscure construction site i had used the reseller as a cdn for briefly. Attempts were mad to modify all my sites at root. Because there's no proof it was the domain reseller, I don't think it was him, it could have also been the epik leakers contacting me.
Basically my nameservers should never change from pablo and candy at cloudflare.... ever, ever
and if they do that's an illegal action on the part of the reseller
any advice? i'm kinda bummed out, i run all sorts of different sites across many different registries, including left-wing ones. I just don't know what to do with this one. I''m not really willing to do anything except pressure enom though if this goes bad. Told them the nameservers should never change. Trying to avoid naming the reseller for now as all the discussion he gives me is through Discord so it's hard to verify any of it.
thanks,
William
