non-imdb url displaying imdb content

https://www.nownewscroathr.org/?ref_=nm_flmg_c_6_act&_=%2Ftitle%2Ftt0050045%2F%23KJWqMdlUlBn8PPpbWRDkhcX2d4w%3D

If you click around, it looks like IMDb, but maintains the "nownewscroathr.org" domain.

So if I sign in to my IMDb account, have they captured my login?

And if I do so with an Amazon account, have they hit paydirt?

@bderoes and IMDb Staff:

I will leave it to IMDb Staff to answer this question:

So if I sign in to my IMDb account, have they captured my login?

And if I do so with an Amazon account, have they hit paydirt?

The Domain (https://www.nownewscroathr.org/) is Vlada Republike Hrvatske which translates to Croatian Government. This appears to be an Official Croatian website. This is a Google Translate version of the website translating the Croation into English:

https://www-nownewscroathr-org.translate.goog/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp

It appears that this domain is scraping IMDb's website and replicating it. This is their link to their version of the IMDb Home Page:

https://www.nownewscroathr.org/?ref_=nv_home&_=%2F%23KJWqMdlUlBn8PPpbWRDkhcX2d4w%3D

This is a Who Is lookup for the domain:

Hi @bderoes,

Many thanks for flagging and I've passed this on to the relevant team for investigation (Ref Ticket #D92263587). I would say that until we've had a chance to take a look, your concerns are definitely valid and visitors should refrain from entering any login details here.

Many thanks again.
