Alert. "The Contemporary Loaf"

Alert that some "rogue" website has begun to post some of TFL's posts under their own website with no attribution as to where it is from or who posted it here, referring to TFL as "The Contemporary Loaf".  
If you care to visit the site - https://nice-wallpaper.com/?s=the+contemporary+loaf&post_type=post .

I would leave a comment that their text interpreter is crappy and they should attribute where they stole the posting from instead of crediting the posts to "xena griffin - baking".  But I'd have to leave my email address, which will not do.

I checked the site with both virustotal.com and Google's safe browsing transparency report.  Based on only those two, there appears to be no malicious references found. I then ran my own "Malwarebytes" software and no malicious detection found.  

\Apparently their existence alone is malicious enough.  Grr.

At least these give attribution:

https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2476806063215/kernza-flour-levain-baguettes

https://mhilanz.com/kernza-flour-levain-baguettes/

The first one gives a link-back. The second does not.

Wow that is sort of creepy.  Not sure what can be done about it though….

Public forums - everything and anything is fair game. Enjoy!

But at least as Dave pointed to two other sources, the appropriate thing to do would be to give the attribution from whence it came, instead of changing the source website's name and putting one's own name on it.

I was laid off from my first IT job in '83.  At the time of the RIF, I had completed a complex program, just about ready for test environment.  I was rehired 6 months later to discover that the person who was assigned the program had completely removed my name and a taken full credit as author.  My work relationship with her was never the same after that.

Boy that just isn’t right, I can imagine how your work relationship with her wouldn’t be great after that.

This is just a SEO site with random collection of info grabbed all over the place.  Basically, a robot whose only purpose is to collect clicks and climb higher in google search ratings.
