[aprssig] who forgot to renew aprs-is.net?

[Andrew Pavlin]

 Looks like I had a DNS spoofing attack. After clearing all my nameserver caches and restarting them, I can see the site now. I'm not sure why earlier it was automatically upgrading from http to https to take me to the AME website.

 Working just fine for me.  AME Corp. is the base web site for that IP address so if you were going to the IP address or you were trying to use https, you will see the base site, not aprs-is.net.  Been this way since its inception.

Greetings.

I was going to visit the aprs-is.net website to check a protocol specification, and now it's displaying a webpage for AME Corporation. Did someone forget to renew the domain name lease? Or am I dealing with DNS spoofing?

Someone might want to check why this corporation is showing up for a ham radio domain name.
