Hi @exploitiobb Welcome to the community.

It's an old marketing event.  
It is no longer active.  
Thanks for pointing it out.

Probably not I I'm checking internally this is from an event more than a year and a half ago I suspect it will be taken down now that you pointed it out.

This is not a core component or product offering It was a marketing site for a challenge event.

Hi @exploitiobb,  
as @stephenb pointed out already, this was used for an event a long time ago.  
I removed what was deployed there and we'll get rid of the DNS name shortly.
