When I heard about Spirit's liquidation today, I dug into their web infrastructure. After discovering that their entire booking flow and Azure API was left exactly as it was before their announcement, I grabbed 3 obvious phishing domains for $11.48 each to block malicious actors.

It's like they didn't even consult an LLM on how to perform an orderly shutdown! Thanks for the interesting read, I'd be a bit paranoid registering those domains though you seem to have benign intentions.

Excluding Linux clients, as they are likely crawling bots… Is this why so many web servers assume I'm a bot? They often don't even give me a captcha, they just straight up deny entry. Should I put Windows or OS X in my user agent?
