Ask HN: How to get this fraudulent copy of our website shut down?
31 by tempestn | 16 comments on Hacker News.
I run AutoTempest.com, a car listings search engine. A few weeks ago, someone registered autoStempest.com, with an extra 's'. They copied our logo and branding, as well as faking other information, such as their team and location. (For example, their "CEO" is actually the CEO of Edmunds.) They've taken other steps to appear legitimate, such as creating a fake Yelp profile and reviews. From what we've heard from our users, they're creating fake craigslist listings, and when people contact them, they're directing them to links on their site, claiming to be "Auto Tempest". Then they solicit payments (presumably reservations or down payments, if not complete sight-unseen purchases), while using our name recognition to gain trust. We've determined that their registrar is Namecheap (as is ours, coincidentally), and they are hosted by a company called Quasinetworks, NL. Interestingly, if you google that company, the first result is someone complaining about how they were unresponsive to abuse notifications; not a great sign. We did sent a message to their abuse contact, but haven't heard back. We also contacted Namecheap and did get a reply, but it appears they will only take down a domain with a) a court order, b) potentially a request from law enforcement, or c) a UDRP proceeding: https://go.icann.org/1AO6FSt The problem with options c or especially a is that they're costly, and nothing would stop whoever is behind the site from simply registering a new confusingly similar domain. So, to start with we've submitted a report to ic3.gov, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center. Hopefully if they confirm the site is fraudulent, they can request that Namecheap yank the domain. I've never submitted such a complaint before though, so I have no idea how responsive they are. Is there anything else we could do to shut these scammers down?

I've applied at a company a few times for a job I am well qualified for (15+ years of COBOL, RPG) but I heard that the company won't hire unless you have experience in a big bank. I have experience in small credit unions and smaller financial environments. How bad would it be to test this theory? Make up some fake job experience and fake details to see if they ask this fake person to an interview because they worked at a big finance company versus a small company, same 15 years experience.

Every time NPM (node package manager) gets mentioned people are quick to point out flaws: - Large dependency trees - 100's of Mb of code for hello world react projects These seem like superficial problems, from what I can tell the system encourages: - Software reuse (maybe too much) - Bundling source with the package (good for verification) - Easy to contribute to the ecosystem - Fast resolution of modules Do people just hate NPM because it's JavaScript?

I already checked methods and stuff online like pair programming, visualization of data flows ect. But what I would love to know is, what has worked for you guys on both sides. Sharing knowledge and get trained. I want to be the best mentor I can be and I want to proof that this is a thing I can do good and continue doing it the next years of my career.

I've been a macOS user for a longtime, but my most recent machine has left a bad taste in my mouth. Seriously considering going full linux on my next laptop. (Already I often just work in a Linux VM rather than fight with the weird errors that come from trying to install everything via brew into macOS directly) Anyone have suggestions? I remember hearing when Lenovo took over Thinkpad quality went down, is that still the case? I work in VMs a lot, so it needs to be powerful. I'd also like a removable battery, both so I can pack a second battery when traveling + one less point of failure so I can keep using the laptop longer. (I tend to try to buy a fairly modern machine and drive it into the ground ala a Honda Civic you hold onto for 7+ years...)

Josh is mainly interested in experiences from the past five years, with an eye towards giving practical advice to parents who are considering sending their kids to one of these. Overall, what did the child get out of it? Were you happy? Was the kid? Was it a good value, in any way you would like to interpret that? What did you look for when you went "shopping"? What would you have done differently, if you had it to do again? Drop a note to Josh in email if you want to reply privately, but I dare say people here have experiences to share.
