Fritz.Box Domain is not owned by AVM and Fritz Boxes configure it as a default domain suffix via DHCP. So either don’t allow it to overwrite your resolv.conf or stop using your Fritz Box DHCP. And use alternative DNS Servers.

TL;DR: Every Fritz!Box has been compromised by DNS hijacking and using a Fritz!Box is unsafe. Every user of a Fritz!Box should immediately stop using their Fritz!Box or set up their own DHCP server.

edit: looks like they even redirected it to an NFT site sometime early this year according to heise.de. So it’s even worse than I thought. No idea if they now bought it or who owns it. Just play it safe and make sure you don’t use the suffix anywhere.
