I had an Australian criminal defense attorney with my name, register the .au version of my personal domain.

I used to get very sensitive documents sent to me. A lot of juvenile cases. I suspect people could have gone to jail for sharing it.

It's really on the sender, to make sure, but it's still a nasty situation.

It eventually stopped. I think they ended up registering a different domain name. I used to diligently respond, when sent erroneous documents, but never got a reply. I destroyed them, but there's no telling where other copies might have gone.
