@purpleidea I did not realize, I'm not very well versed in web development. I changed my github description now, thanks.

@briankrebs Thanks for looking into it! I'll just send out abuse reports wherever I can for now.

@antifuchs My identity is already quite public given that I'm using my real name on my github account. Whoever created libgpiod.com surely must have seen it.

@tobozo I don't make any money off this, I don't quite feel like dropping a couple hundred euros on a trademark for an obscure open-source project for embedded linux TBH :(

@gisgeek Yeah, I always sign the release tags with my gpg key. I can't do anything about someone not getting the code from kernel.org.

This is the first time I'm posting anything here but I figured this may be the right audience.

I've never run into something like this and I don't quite know what to make of it. I'm the author and maintainer of libgpiod. The official git repository is the one at kernel.org[1]. There's also a github mirror[2] as well as a documentation page[3] at readthedocs that I maintain.

I noticed (purely by chance) that there's a new website at libgpiod.com that's been created recently. I have nothing to do with it. It's clearly AI-generated but it redirects to my github. It's a 2 month old domain, anonymized registrar, protected by Cloudflare and NeoProtect and a Swedish host behind that.

Clearly someone went to great lengths to stay anonymous. I'm afraid of falling victim to some new elaborate supply chain attack. What should I do about it (if anything)? Has anyone else experienced something similar?
