Any of my #infosec peeps stumbled over the .hsbc TLD ? As in www.smartserve.hsbc - which is a CNAME for www.smartserve.hsbc.edgekey.net

I'm assuming this is a scam - but it might be a badly outsourced KYC thing - it is so hard to tell the difference!

@steely_glint Looks to be a legit German website.

@steely_glint And according to this, its a corporate owned TLD.
