Looking at the minimal WHOIS records, it appears that the domain was acquired on or around 12 January 2021 by Australian fintech startup Openpay Pty Ltd.

Openpay, which entered receivership in February, reportedly owes more than $66.1 million to creditors, $4.1 million to employees for unpaid leave and wages, and has just $1.2 million in cash in the bank."
