Does this even having anything to do with the core development of IPFS? 😒

If your software allow to make bad things

So basically everything on the internet. This boils down to you being mad you got phised and your email used to spam...may as well complain about HTML or any other webhost having clone pages too, and you complained on their dev page instead of flagging the page in the application, thinking something would be done about it...

First i'm not complaining on everythings. Just i notice your software is used to make attempts of phishing. After i'm not trying to make you trouble. Just when you develop something, you need to anticipate bad uses. If not there's a problem of ethic and of efficency. I try to undersand what is ipfs... And it seems to be an alternative infrastructure to the web. Same goals, same issues, each system need regulation. And in my mind it's starts in the core project...

I read https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/dnslink/#resolve-dnslink-name and on my machine I get:

❯ dig +noall +answer TXT _dnslink.docs.ipfs.tech
_dnslink.docs.ipfs.tech. 3600	IN	CNAME	_dnslink.ipfs-docs.on.fleek.co.
_dnslink.ipfs-docs.on.fleek.co.	120 IN	TXT	"dnslink=/ipfs/QmUvapxngDa2BXnQ6AM97LLfpRFs9iBZBpk9iD99avsTSz"

A colleague of mine got a phishing mail which redirected to https://fleek.cool/ipfs/ and fleek.co. looks similar.
