How it was found

Hello Gents,

  • While testing ** Imgur ** I found an unclaimed subdomain which is; “8ybhy85kld9zp9xf84x6.imgur.com”, and I was able to claim it!
  • But actually I didn't upload or host a simple file like mr_baka.html, because I need to upgrade the account to be able to use this custom domain!
  • Anyway, you can verify that I was able to claim this subdomain by visiting https://8ybhy85kld9zp9xf84x6.imgur.com and clicking Manage domain settings here., which should lead you to my account; https://mrbaka.squarespace.com" .
