Sepolia Faucet Link in rpcs.json Points to Gambling Website (Possible Data Poisoning)

[fafer]

Hi Chainlist team,

I would like to report a potentially serious issue in the rpcs.json data source.

It appears that the faucet link for Ethereum Testnet Sepolia is currently pointing to a gambling-related website instead of a legitimate testnet faucet.

Details

Affected file: https://chainlist.org/rpcs.json

Affected network: Ethereum Testnet Sepolia

Field: faucets

Current faucet URL:

http://fauceth.komputing.org?chain=11155111&address=${ADDRESS}

This URL appears to redirect to (or serve) a gambling website, which is unrelated to Sepolia testnet funding.

Potential Impact

Developers relying on Chainlist for network configuration may unknowingly interact with an unrelated or potentially unsafe website.

This creates a security and trust risk for the ecosystem.

It may indicate that the rpcs.json dataset has been modified or poisoned.

Suggested Actions

Verify the integrity of the rpcs.json data source.

Remove or replace the malicious / unrelated faucet entry.

Restore an official or verified Sepolia faucet link.

Review recent changes to detect possible unauthorized modifications.

Please let me know if further information or reproduction steps are needed.

Thank you for your work maintaining Chainlist and helping keep the ecosystem secure.
