Explanation for how scammers are using fake @primal.net verification to scam primal users. Primals caching servers allow scammers to impersonate their users by showing any @primal.net input as a valid nip 05 If your nip 05 is anything else primal will check that it's actually valid, and other clients will check if a primal nip 05 is actually valid. So the risk of getting scammed or impersonated by fake nip 05 verification only applies to primal users. @miljan can you please fix this? image

Primal's NIP-05 verification service works like any other Nostr NIP-05 verification service. All Primal clients verify NIP-05s on the client; same way as other Nostr clients. That's why Primal clients don't show the verified badge next to the account that tries to spoof the NIP-05. The indexer plays no role in the display of the verified status in our clients. So you got this entirely wrong. The "architectural vulnerability" you point out is a hallucination by your LLM. Run this by your LLM and post the screenshot of its apologies for the lols.
