How are people discovering random subdomains on my server?

Reply in thread

How is it being logged publicly? Like OP said there is no specific subdomain registered in the DNS records (instead using a wildcard). Same for the SSL cert. Only things I can think of is the browser leaking the subdomains (through google or Microsoft) or the DNS queries themselves being logged and leaked. (Possibly by the ISP inspecting the traffic or logging and leaking on their own DNS servers?). I would hardly call either of those public.

Amazing to see that they successfully migrated. This is a great example for the rest of Europe and the teams that worked on this will (hopefully) have plenty of work ahead of them in helping other European entities migrate away from US big tech!

Sure, wasting peoples time is awful and should be avoided (from both sides). The thing is, coming in saying that any government list/database is inherently evil, so let's have private companies do it instead is a take that is bound to invite some very heated arguments.

An industry list is a system that (I believe) is ripe for abuse.

Some problems I can think of from the top of my head

  • Listing applicants that rejected offers to prevent them from getting better offers elsewhere
  • Applicant time wasted if they are blacklisted (an industry list has no incentive to publish said list. Job seekers would just keep sending out applications never knowing why they do not get through the automated application filtering step)
  • Listing your own employees to prevent them from switching to a better company
  • Plain old spite if you left a previous employer on bad terms
  • I am sure companies can come up with some creative other uses of list mechanics

Also, an industry blacklisting an individual does not have an even effect as a reciprocal list where companies with unfair hiring practices (such as ghost jobs that never get filled or ghosting applicants without explanation) get listed. If the effect would be the same (i.e. not being able to work in said field), then the sanction on a company would effectively be dissolution (difficult to run a company if you are not able to do any work in the field that your company specializes in).

I feel for you missing out on time with your family. I have myself also worked overtime because I was enthousiastic about a specific project or task, but part of choosing to work that overtime is accepting the risk that the time will not be successful or productive.

If this has happend multiple times, I would say, be less flexible in your planning, and don't work overtime but spend time with your loved ones. (If you live in a jurisdiction where overtime is not defacto mandatory)

Say there is a pile of company time wasted by applicants and a pile of applicant time wasted by companies, then I think we both know which pile is bigger.
