Users could access the site throughout if they typed the itch.io IP address into their web browser directly, indicating a resilient workaround despite the temporary issue.
BrandShield's AI-driven platform identified an abuse of Funko from an itch.io subdomain, leading to a takedown request focused solely on that subdomain.
The temporary takedown of the website was a decision made by the service providers, not BrandShield or Funko, emphasizing the complexities of domain management.
This incident highlights how the delicate web of domain registrars and DNS servers poses a failure point for online businesses, affecting accessibility.
