> The domain assets-origin.production.govuk.digital "looks" very much like a phishing url, even if it's internal

.digital is a real TLD, and govuk.digital is an actual domain, registered by "Government Digital Service" (created 2017-07-14T14:17:30Z) although the registrant's details are redacted "for privacy".

Is this domain really registered to some part of uk.gov? ...or is this some bad actor/squatter who found out about the internal naming and snapped up the matching public domain?

Q: Shouldn't gov.uk just stick to domains under .gov.uk?(!) Would make it easier to work out who's actually gov.uk and who's merely pretending :)
