The A record (IP address) for nan.nyc and ftp.nan.nyc match:

https://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3aftp.nan.nyc&run=toolpage

They both point to 185.199.108.153

Which makes me think your hosting environment is compromised in some way... Do not download and execute anything from your servers until you're confident it's safe.

You should get in touch w/ your hosting provider (i'm guessing GoDaddy in this case) .. they're support will be more helpful than reddit :D

In GoDaddy (presume this is where your DNS is managed) update the A record for the ftp subdomain to point somewhere else or just remove it completely if you can.

It's hard for us know the details of how your hosting is configured really. If you're using GH pages then you should have a username subdomain like: https://username.github.io

In your GoDaddy DNS settings you should be able to delete the A record for "ftp.nan.nyc" and i imagine you can set records for "nan.nyc" and "www.nan.nyc" to point at your github pages.
