Wikipedia pages served out of non-Wiki server?


For a few minutes today (19:21 - 19:38 2022 August 8 UTC) my accesses of Wikipedia were redirected to http://eder.iliensale.com/edu-https-en.wikipedia.org As near as I can tell the content was genuine.

I started at en.wikipedia.org, did a search, got served out of eder.ilensale

This Wikipedia article may help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipe...rors_and_forks

Here's more about the site you were forwarded to. http://eder.iliensale.com/about-us/ I would note that it is not listed in the list of mirrors at the above Wikipedia article.

As to how you got redirected there from a Wikipedia search, I would be as puzzled as you.
