Interesting story from @tedium about an extortion scheme targeting prominent personalities on Bluesky who don't own their own domain.

"Cybersquatting is not a new issue, of course, but Bluesky’s decision to tie verification to domains as social proof shows the limitations of the strategy."

I wonder how this would play out in the fediverse.
