I have no idea what the protocol is here.  If anyone has any useful
advice, I'm open to suggestion.  Should we at least alert the ironically
named fabulous.com that they are serving malware under kicad.com or are
they a shady outfit by trade?  How would we even find out?

their service has been compromised. Sigh! One more thing to deal with
that really doesn't help move KiCad along.
