What's demu.gr?

TLS certificate for democraticunderground.com has a subject alternative name of 'demu.gr'.

From the looks of it, it's a Greek site for a reverse phone number lookup?

Why's it tied to the same TLS certificate as this forum? Just so strange.

So, because the TLS certificate is shared between services, any information sent to democraticunderground.com (like our logins and posts) can be decrypted by this site. Normally, I try to use a unique TLS certificate per service in case one service is compromised.

With LetsEncrypt (a free publicly trusted certificate provider), there's no excuse to not do it this way.
