Ask HN: Was GitHub Hacked or Me?
This came up recently in a different HN thread: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19118740" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19118740</a><p>The main gist is that GitHub doesn't require proof of ownership in order to set a custom domain.<p>This means that if your GitHub Pages configurations are incorrect for any reason (for example, that user switched from a Pro to a regular account and lost the ability to have a GH page on a private repo), another user can come along and claim your page (confidencetoexplore.com) as the custom domain for that repo.<p>My bet would be that this happened to you.  As another user in that thread mentioned, report them: <a href="https://github.com/contact/report-abuse" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/contact/report-abuse</a>
