It's a wide net. How did you happen to fall into it?<br>
<br>
I suspect that <a href="http://foundation.com" target="_blank">foundation.com</a> is a relatively valuable property and it is being squatted on for the purpose of making a good sale of the lease at some point.<br>

p2p foundation doesn't own <a href="http://foundation.net" target="_blank">foundation.net</a> so it is actually not a<br>
hijack, but a kind of spoofing where they are using a domain that<br>
looks close to, but is not exactly your actual domain<br>

> Subdomains are not issued by domain registries. However, a site tenant might sublet a subdomain to someone. I have a web site that allows me unlimited subdomains. These can also be used as anchors for implementation of add-on domains. E.g., my domain for <<a href="http://nfoWorks.org" target="_blank">http://nfoWorks.org</a>> is targeted at my actual web site as <<a href="http://nfoworks.nfocentrale.com" target="_blank">http://nfoworks.nfocentrale.com</a>> and that maps onto <<a href="http://nfocentrale.com/nfoworks/" target="_blank">http://nfocentrale.com/nfoworks/</a>>. I don't publicize the subdomains because I don't want people to bookmark them: if I move or re-organize the site, such bookmarks would no longer work.<br>

There are sites like this all over the Internet, some intentionally designed to make fruit from mistyped URLs.<br>
