What's up with the new subdomains at www.cometpingpong.com? (pizzagate)

submitted ago by Vindicator

One of our lurkers just noticed that cometpingpong.com created 14 subdomains as of January 3, 2019. The following is copied from his message to me.

One of the subdomain was called voatsucks.cometpingpong.com. But all those subdomains get redirected to its main domain, which is cometpingpong.com. The pastebin contains a complete list of IP addresses that this website has being through. Coincidentally, bucksfishingandcamping.com and cometpingpong.com shared the same backend server earlier on.

Just something that might be of interest to you. I found this info while digging into other fake news domains.

Thanks

I'm not sure where he got this list, but my initial thoughts are that this is a misunderstanding in how things work. subdomains aren't published anywhere, except when an ssl certificate is needed to cover that specific subdomain, or if a dns entry is made for verification of some sort, or finally if the website does in fact publish a link to the domain.

It is somewhat common though to set up wildcard subdomains so that any subdomain real or not, just redirects to the main site. the links above as well as a made up subdomain i tested give a 301 http error, meaning that address is moved permanently, as in it's not temporary and all future requests to fake subdomain need to go to main domain.

my best guess, some web crawler followed some links someone made to these domains which resulted in them being cashed somewhere.
