The alias `kq-jekyll.vercel.app` is still serving, but it doesn’t exist under my account or aliases (`vercel alias ls` shows nothing). Can you please remove the dangling alias? Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2025-09-11 Hey @kevquirk. Looks like that subdomain is currently in use by someone else, not orphaned Kev (@kevquirk) · 2025-09-11 That's impossible as the site it's serving is from a private GitHub repo that only I have access to. Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2025-09-12 Do you have an alt account? Quick search for `kq-jekyll` on GitHub turned up this repo that appears to be using that subdomain https://github.com/baddate/kq-jekyll  Kev (@kevquirk) · 2025-09-12 · ♥ 1 Goodness me! I must have accidentally set the repo permission as public at one point. Thank you, I’ll get in touch with GitHub. Since the site is clearly a stolen version of my source code (my current, live site is referenced in the read me) is it possible to get the Vercel site taken down please? I’m happy to provide any verification you need. Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2025-09-12 Sorry someone stole your site code :slightly_frowning_face: I can't remove it, but I opened a ticket with the team that can. I'll let you know when I get confirmation from them. Amy Egan (@amyegan) · 2025-09-12 Can you submit an official [DMCA](https://vercel.com/legal/dmca-policy) removal request? That way, the team can communicate with you directly to collect any additional information they need https://vercel.com/abuse?abuseType=dmca Kev (@kevquirk) · 2025-09-13 I reached out to the owner of the repo and they took the site down. Thank you so much for your help. Kev
