Can you ELI5 for those of us not educated in what I think is networking protocol?
@atatassault @jonty disclaimer: I haven't fact-checked anything I'm about to say and have never interacted with bluesky.
It seems that there's some verification proccess to claim a handle that consists on putting up a file somewhere on the Internet.
People seem to be abusing this by putting up these files in file hosting services, claiming handles in domains they don't own but that allow to upload arbitrary files.
