Someone's impersonating this blog

A blogger discovered that someone had created a website impersonating their own. The individual noticed a link to one of their blog posts on mataroa.site but initially thought it was just an alternate domain. However, upon visiting mataroa.site, they realized the site was a clone of their blog. The clone lacked recent updates and displayed 404 errors for older posts and comment sections.

Furthermore, the site displayed a watermark with the blogger's custom domain URL, which the blogger believed was an attempt to make the clone look legitimate. The blogger also discovered that the site's source code was identical to their blog's, except it contained Cloudflare scripts for obfuscation and analytics. The blogger had no idea why they were targeted for impersonation, as their blog is not a high-value website.

They reported the URL to Namecheap but faced difficulties submitting an abuse report due to a broken form. The blogger decided to document the incident in hopes of warning others about the fake site.
