Verify the full address against the signed source. A 'Catharsis' link with no signature and a different string is an impersonator.

Why Catharsis gets cloned

Catharsis's smaller profile means fewer people know its real address by heart, and that gap is exactly what cloners exploit: a convincing look-alike faces less scrutiny on a market buyers visit only occasionally. Compensate by verifying every session against the signed source here, rather than trusting memory or a link reposted on an unvetted index.
