Someone's created pixel-perfect copies of my website (prepfully.com).
Whoever it is, is using the same domain name, but different TLDs - .live, .info etc.
Questions to community
1. Why could they be doing this? Only reasons I can think of are (a) phishing (b) adversarial SEO. Latter's definitely worked coz I discovered them through a Claude citation (!!) To protect against (a), I'm planning to just email all our candidates and coaches to make sure they don't accidentally use their login credentials on the copycat.
Are there more dangerous motives I should proactively hedge against?
2. How can I protect myself against this more structurally? They're calling our backend endpoints so we're going to add CORS policies to protect against this.
Anything else I should be doing?
Thanks to everyone who weighs in. Prepfully's been a weekend project for the longest time, I should maybe have prioritized defending against this higher in my todos.
I've had a little of that happen. Ignore it. The people who do that sort of thing don't care, have no talent, and know that they have no talent. They'll abandon the effort shortly and it will disappear.

That's the hope!
Just want to make sure I'm not missing something more malicious or dangerous though :)
