Hug of death?

That's unfortunate. What did it do?

It works for me now. It checks if any other domains have been registered to trick people into thinking it's your website.

For example, I put in one of my websites (https://packetlosstest.com), and it gives the following:

  Domain              IPs             HTTP banner            WHOIS
  
  packetlosstest.arab 127.0.53.53
  
  packetl.osstest.com 54.161.222.85
                      34.205.242.146
  
  packelosstest.com   103.224.182.210 Apache/2.4.38 (Debian) Domain Name: PACKELOSSTEST.COM
                                                             Registry Domain ID: 2659396158_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN
                                                             Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.dynadot.com
                                                             Registrar URL: http://www.dynadot.com
                                                             …
  
  packetlos.stest.com 59.110.61.108   nginx
  
  packetlo.sstest.com 54.161.222.85
                      34.205.242.146
  
  packetlosstest.com  34.196.254.27   Netlify                Domain Name: PACKETLOSSTEST.COM
                      35.229.48.116                          Registry Domain ID: 2374572514_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN
                                                             Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.namesilo.com
                                                             Registrar URL: http://www.namesilo.com
                                                             …

The last one is my actual site, and the other five are apparently scammers preparing to impersonate me.

I had a look at your personal site (linked from the one you posed) and I don't know how (or why) you dare to put so much of your personal information online. What's the worst that could happen? I don't know, but identity theft is up there and can have significant consequences.

Looks like a dev build that opens a web socket connection up to port 3000, probably for live reload or something. I am guessing they just got it working with create react app or something and shipped it as is, without rebuilding a production version.
