  Lots of malware gets hosted using dynamic DNS domains, so they (or more likely some bot) probably saw the domain frequently showing up in malicious activity and blocked it without understanding that it itself isn’t the source of the malicious activity.

  someone was hosting phishing on that domain and they took a nuclear bomb approach. Unfortunately, all unlock requests are probably routed to /dev/null
