Sure. Although that means very little considering most people have dynamic IPs. You also can't do anything with an IP... not much anyway. Assuming they even grab a long term dynamic IP (some ISPs rarely change the IP, this is true) it only gives them your generalized geolocation which is often off by hundreds of miles. And your ISP, although that isn't always clear either. It's not like an ip tracing to your home directly. That would make literally every single connection you make to any website a security risk. My point being, if your personal security risk levels prohibits connections to websites... this is just another drop in a bucket.

I'm not trying to be flippant here or overly dismissive. I just think this isn't as big of a concern as some are imagining. I agree generally something should be done to alert users that the website is no longer "safe" or "genuine." Beyond that, barring a lemmy decision about how to handle expired/stolen domains, not much else can be done. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe see if someone can add it to a large Adblock list so that ublock, etc. pick it up as "potentially dangerous."

That's assuming the hexbear admin team isn't able to snag it. Last I saw it's like ~$700. There's absolutely some IT nerd with a bunch of cash who might buy it from the auction and gift it to hexbear. Who knows. There's many more shitty NATO IT libs who would buy it and sit on it for years just to pretend they "owned the tankies."

Ultimately I find it hard to not find a lot of fault in the admins of hexbear for letting this go for months and months. They should've begun migration to a new domain as soon as the old admin/owner disappeared.

Honestly if your using a heavily commie site and not taking opsec precautions to hide your real IP then they already know it.
