A critical security flaw in Gogs, the widely used open-source Git hosting service, has researchers alarmed. Any authenticated user on a default installation can exploit it for full remote code execution, meaning stolen credentials, compromised code, and no patch in sight yet.

These spoofed sites are designed to harvest personal data and potentially money from fans looking for tickets or tournament information. The timing, years out from the event, tells you how long these operations run.

It is a curious act, part preservation instinct and part philosophical statement about permanence and censorship resistance. Whether it is meaningful archiving or expensive novelty probably depends on where you stand on crypto.
