Scribble Diffusion's domain now redirects to pirate football streams tied to a 10k-domain malware network

A Redditor who tracks AI tools with a monitoring script found that scribblediffusion.com — Replicate's 2023 sketch-to-image demo — now bounces visitors to Xoilac TV, a Vietnamese pirate football stream plastered with 8xbet betting ads.
Key details:
- Since Sep 4 the domain has pointed to at least six different Xoilac domains, likely hopping to dodge blocks;
- The GitHub repo still says "Try it out" with the old link, but issues are disabled so the maintainers can't be notified;
- Whois shows the domain was registered in 2023 and paid through 2027, so it wasn't dropped and re-registered — the cause is unclear;
- Infoblox reported in August that the Xoilac network spans 10k+ domains and 31k+ malware samples, so don't click it.
