If queries to those domains leaked out of the local environment (which, of course, _never_ happens), they could be resolved simply by purchasing the .SU domain and then setting up name servers with a wildcard to return an address for a honeypot. The bad guys could then just sit and wait (and then profit). This is a form of ‘name collision’ which is all the rage these days (see https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/name-collision-2013-12-06-en). Regards, -drc
