What Hacker News says?
Sub-domain takeover attack. The sub-domain was CNAME'ed to a S3 bucket and the S3 bucket had likely been deleted. The porn purveyor, re-created a new S3 bucket with pr0n. A scanner that would have caught the vulnerability: https://tech.ovoenergy.com/how-we-prevented-subdomain-takeov... Or a grey hat scanner for finding sub-domains vulnerable to takeover: https://github.com/m4ll0k/takeover
