Nazis.us Redirects to DHS Website as Redirect Status Remains Unclear

Tests on Thursday evening still reached dhs.gov despite DHS saying the redirect was blocked.

Overview

  • Users reported that typing nazis.us led to the Department of Homeland Security homepage, with screenshots circulating widely on social platforms.
  • DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told TMZ the agency had successfully blocked the redirect.
  • Mediaite tested the link later on Thursday and found the redirect continued to work.
  • GoDaddy WHOIS records show the domain was registered on January 13 with a mailing address in Florida, and the registrant has not responded to inquiries.
  • There is no evidence DHS or ICE authorized the redirect, and anyone who controls a domain can point it to another website.
