Details

The hostname
hindsight.prod.dataops.mozgcp.net
gives a DNS SERVFAIL answer right now, because it is delegated to Google Cloud, but is not registered there.

Usually this would lead to a possibility of a subdomain takeover (see e.g. #1540847 for a similar bug) and would be a security issue. However it seems that Google has implemented some protection if a domain is already claimed by another account (through webmaster tools apparently) one cannot add a subdomain to another account without validating domain ownership. Thus in this case a subdomain takeover is not possible.

Still this is an obvious misconfiguration, the NS delegation should be removed if the host is no longer in use.

Addition: Same issue affects:
hindsight.nonprod.dataops.mozgcp.net

(nonprod instead of prod)

The NS delegations have been removed.

$ host -t txt  hindsight.prod.dataops.mozgcp.net
