Hi Jorge, fyi I just browsed for Bridgefy on google and clicked on the first link that showed up and some random page turned up. It looked like it was hacked or something.

Sorry about that! Our official website is indeed www.bridgefy.me, and we should have www.bridgefy.com recovered in a short while.

That happened to me as well. Can anyone explain to me how that works? Is there entire site hacked, but only triggered when coming from Google? Or does it work some other way?

That first link from Google is highly NSFW. A fully nude woman appears on the screen from some scammy local dating ad network. Has their DNS been hijacked?
