Earlier today I tried to visit Reddit (a moment of procrastination), mistyped it, and instead visited "reddkt.com". This contained to mildly alarming message:

"You have been redirected here by the Starnoise research project. This redirect is temporary, things will return to normal.

All the best, Michael Brooks"

A few searches of salient terms later I determined I hadn't in fact fallen prey of a research team but to a domain squatter and my own fat fingers.

I found this arbitration document interesting, and have had quite a few lively discussions about the lines between researchers, bounty hunters, and extortionists today!
